Sorry for the huge diff E-Mail to ros-diffs! I have just configured git_multimail.py to a maximum of 5000 lines to not let that happen again. We can again reduce the limit later on if it turns out to be still too much. Best regards, Colin Finck

Re: [ros-dev] ReactOS Repository migrated to GitHub
by Can Tasan 04 Oct '17

04 Oct '17

Congrats for switching into Github! Just a little question. Is there any way to return using revision numbers? Current hash-based commit tagging might be confusing, hard to find, not reflecting at-the-time state of development since we have relied on SVN for a long time. Also for bug reporting, revision numbers is more helpful. Secondly, for example, Wine don't (and probably won't) care for hashes as everyone out there uses release builds, and release period is just 2 weeks. That's not the case for ReactOS. In just a few commits big changes might occur, and everyone retests. 3 months? Avalanche! If it isn't viable, could we seek for another solution? (e.g timestamp...) Lastly, git.reactos.org is quite simple for watching the stream, and perfect! Best regards, Can

ReactOS Repository migrated to GitHub
by Colin Finck 03 Oct '17

03 Oct '17

Today, the ReactOS Source Code has been migrated from a central Subversion instance to a decentralized Git repository. Together with that, ReactOS joins the list of projects using the popular GitHub service for developing software: https://github.com/reactos/reactos We expect that this move greatly improves the way we collaborate on ReactOS development and reduces the barriers for newcomers. Just fork our repository on GitHub, commit your changes and send us a Pull Request! Migrating a source code history of more than 20 years that had seen multiple version control systems was not a straightforward task. Deciding on a decentralized version control system has not been either. First discussions already started back in 2009, when neither Git nor Mercurial were able to fully convert a large SVN repository like ours and Git’s Windows support was still neglected. Things improved massively over the years, with GitHub and Git for Windows emerging as reliable tools for software development. But the ReactOS Project still took advantage of some Subversion features, so only a smooth migration using a two-way SVN-Git mirror was attempted in 2016. This failed miserably, however important lessons were learned for a future complete migration to Git. The tipping point was reached in early 2017 when a majority of ReactOS developers spoke out in favor of moving to Git. Finally, the ReactOS Hackfest in August offered a forum to try out things and discuss every little detail of the planned migration. And this is what got us here today! The development documentation is still in the process of being rewritten to account for the Git migration. You may currently find outdated information here and there. However, most of that is on the Wiki, so you are more than welcome to help us! The SVN Repository has been turned read-only and will be kept online for a while at the last revision r76032. Our Git mirror now mirrors the GitHub repository. If you have already been using our old Git mirror, please note that you have to do a fresh clone of our new repository (from either GitHub or the mirror) as the old and new ones are incompatible. JIRA continues to be used for bug tracking, BuildBot for continuous integration, and FishEye as a code browser. I would like to thank all the people who have helped with this migration, be it on IRC, the mailing lists or at the Hackfest! Special thanks also go to the KDE Project for their excellent svn-all-fast-export tool that was used for the conversion. If you are ever in a similar situation, have a look at my conversion scripts as well as the Git helpers for our infrastructure. Colin Finck

Regression in r75772 broke multiple disk drive support
by Dimitrij Klingbeil 03 Oct '17

03 Oct '17

Hi all, It looks like revision 75772 (removed a "DeviceExt->OpenHandleCount--;") has introduced some significant unintended consequences. Ever since I can't get ReactOS to recognize a second hard drive. My configuration is like this: - ReactOS in a VirtualBox VM, VirtualBox version 5.11.18 - VM configured for Windows 2003 32-bit, with 1 CPU - Emulated Chipset: PIIX3, no USB, no Audio, no Serial - AMD-V active, Nested Paging active, - No paravirtualization interface, no guest additions - Emulated Storage: SATA controller with 4 ports - Port 0: First Hard disk (has partition C) - Port 1: Second Hard disk (has partition D) - Port 3: CDROM (to install ReactOS from, E) - Each hard disk has one single primary partition (FAT formatted by an older ReactOS setup) - On C I install ReactOS (re-formatting the partition in the process) - On D there is some data (a small collection of program installers to try out) Now, inside ReactOS I cannot see the contents of D. The drive itself shows up, but unformatted and of a zero size. In the revisions before 75772 there were no problems, I could see the drive and use the data on it. Re-installing r75771 shows that the drive image is OK and the data is still there, so it's not the data that was corrupted. If I insert a CDROM image (with ReactOS already running), the CDROM drive (E) suddently disappears and D now has the CDROM in it (so happened just now with r75872). When I eject the CDROM, D becomes empty but still shows the icon for a CDROM. E does not re-appear. 75772 looks like a very small change, but something must have gone really off the rails... Regards, Dimitrij P.S. This was at first sent from the wrong (not subscribed to the list) address by mistake. I think the first one was rejected by the list SW, but sorry if the message appears twice.

Status Meeting (September 2017)
by Colin Finck 28 Sep '17

28 Sep '17

Hi all! Let me invite you to the monthly status meeting taking place today, September 28, 19:00 UTC. As always, you will get credentials for our private IRC server shortly before the meeting. No agenda proposals have been submitted to me so far. If that doesn't change, we will have a meeting just for the status reports. Please have them ready, so we get it done quickly! A lot of tasks from our long last meeting are also still in progress (not just the Git migration), so I wouldn't mind having a short meeting this time. See you in a few hours! Colin

Git Migration on October 3!
by Colin Finck 22 Sep '17

22 Sep '17

Hi all! With our infra/toolchain now being fully prepared for the Git migration, I can finally say that there are no more blockers holding us back. Therefore I'm announcing that the migration from SVN to Git will take place on TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2017 During that day (European time) SVN will be turned read-only forever and some of our services may expect temporary downtime. Let's see who will get the last commit ever to SVN :) The new repository will then be available at https://github.com/reactos/reactos, with https://git.reactos.org providing a mirror. The following things are still on the To-Do list, but I don't consider them blockers. We can work on them iteratively after the migration: * Writing a new .gitignore file. * Writing a .gitattributes file to enforce EOL style. * Writing Git guides on our Wiki for beginners and SVN users. Best regards, Colin

Re: [ros-dev] Regression in r75772 broke multiple disk drive support - format also does not work
by Dimitrij Klingbeil 20 Sep '17

20 Sep '17

Something else seems to be off the rails too... It does't seem possible to format the drive from within ReactOS either. Here's what happens when I try the command-line format utility: - Fill drive D with enough stuff (to see a clear size difference) - Start cmd.exe, then "Format D: /Q" - Format appears to run, writing a new FS - At the end, Format will display a drive size summary - The "used" size is wrong, the drive is still as full as before (!) - When going there with Explorer, the contents have not disappeared (!) - The FS structure seems to be messed up however, as - after a reboot the drive is no longer there (not raw but missing) It looks like Format does not properly unmount the drive before formatting and / or it does not re-mount it after formatting either, or at least that these steps somehow fail to work. The result seems to be a corrupted FS. However I'm not sure if formatting has ever worked - never tried before.
