Hi all!
After David has successfully tested a first SVN -> Git conversion of our
repo, here comes the next challenge: Finding a way to preserve our
current modularization into reactos, rosapps, rostests and paving the
way for even more modularization.
My vision for the future is a small "core" repo that only contains our
host tools and SDK. We could also split off subprojects like
fast486/ntvdm or Paint into individual repos. Now that Microsoft has
abandoned them under Windows, they may individually attract developers
who would never hack on the entire ReactOS repo. Furthermore, 3rd party
components could be imported through their repo instead of copy-pasting
their code without history (as we do now).
Even if that vision is a distant goal, the technology for it is already
required for a reactos, rosapps, rostests modularization.
Isn't that a perfect scenario for Git submodules?
Not sure: I'm not aware that they support the concept of optional
modules. You could only check out the "core" repo with all defined
submodules. This would make it impossible to use "core" only to build
Paint. There also seem to be other drawbacks when using submodules:
https://codingkilledthecat.wordpress.com/2012/04/28/why-your-company-should…
Alternatives like Git subtrees, Google Repo, and Gitslave exist, but
there is even less information about them. Furthermore, I think a good
integration into GUI tools like TortoiseGit is also a requirement for
most of us.
David and I have started to write down our findings:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ey1xdS_0GcG7p7ZgHZBh4A3VMq2uxyw5MpnUXbT…
Your input on this is very welcome!
I guess any migration to Git is blocked before we have a solution here.
Cheers,
Colin
Hello,
After recent changes in explorer, comctl32 and uxtheme the state of themes in reactos was improved a lot. I would like to ask your opinions about enabling themes in 3rd stage. It is also possible to have an option in 2nd stage to select if we want 3rd stage to have themes enabled. Do you think this should be enabled by default or not? All ideas are welcome. My intention is to complete it ASAP so that it can make in the release.
Thanks,
Giannis Adamopoulos
I'd vote for a page in 2nd stage.
If we would make it by default then only in the releases.

hi all,
honestly, i dont think theming is a crucial choose when installing. i would
not add that screen, at 2nd stage at least.
Maybe at 3rd, right after 1st run....

I've always been a big fan of seeing the Basic Lite theme being on by
default, which would give ros a much more modern look and feel.
We're missing the start menu implementation for this though.

To make basic lite look better needs to substitute its fonts with some we already have.

Hi all!
With the Hackfest less than 3 weeks away, let me give you another status
update:
* It is important that you now add yourself to
https://reactos.org/wiki/ReactOS_Hackfest_2017/Lists or fix up your
information there.
Further E-Mails will only go to the people listed there.
* As many of us also attend FrOSCon on Saturday and Sunday (19-20), I'm
also going to book the loft for this night. There may be options closer
to FrOSCon, but I think not having to hastily check out early on
Saturday with the entire equipment outweighs the 1 hour trip between the
loft and FrOSCon.
* The Ideas list looks very promising. In order to make the most out of
the Hackfest, preparations should begin now. For example, I really want
the Git move to happen in October, so let's not hesitate with all
necessary source tree restructuring and testing.
There has been no meeting announced for tomorrow, so I'm unsure whether
we will have one. In case we do, let's handle any outstanding questions
tomorrow.
Cheers,
Colin
Hello, I am sanchaez (Alexander Shaposhnikov) - a GSoC student working on
RAPPS. I've found a set of useful wrappers for ATL on Github -
https://github.com/Amebis/atlex.
I have some questions:
1. It is GPLv3. Is it compatible with ROS license? Can I use them?
2. If I can, where to place it in the source folders?
P.S. I've rushed a little by committing it to my branch. "It lies in
reactos\sdk\include\reactos" for now.
Thanks in advance,
Alexander
Ethereum is a decentralised cryptocurrency based on proof of work and
proof of stake consensus with Turing-complete scripting. Utilising
Ethereum for fundraiser will allow us to remove the middlemen from
raising funds and allow us to distribute them more directly. I want to
be first contract programmer for ReactOS ethereum account. Any kind of
release schemes may be developed. However, this will need detailed
discussion and official approval first.
Yours, faithfully
