It's unfortunate as this role seemed to be almost written for him. ************************************************************************ The information contained in this message or any of its attachments is confidential and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee.

Looking for a place to chekin

by Robert Köpferl

I'm currently preparing the doc on how to publish ROS. Since I did this a several times I made a QnD script which I want to reference in my description. It's quite not a real solution, but better than nothing on the way until rbuild gets that feature/target. Where do you think I should check that in? I think of a subdirectory at reactos/tools thanks

Visual Studio

by Jurgen Van Gael

Hi, I was just fiddling around with reactos and am interested in getting some stuff to compile with msvc. (I tried 2003 and 2005 express beta 2) However, the sln workspace files don't seem to open properly on neither visual studio. The vcproj do; just wondering whether you guys use other versions of visual studio? Jurgen

top-level source header

by Ged

Although a standard header was drafted out for the ReactOS source code, few people seem to use it and it doesn't seem to be in the wiki. I would like to get something in the wiki agreed on by everyone which should be included in our source files. I think we firstly need have a vote to see if everyone actually wants a standard header, but I put together some info anyway to explain my thoughts As much of the ReactOS code is licensed under the GPL, it can be reused by anyone under the license agreements. As the BSD code does, I think a ReactOS copyright notice should be placed in the header to ensure people know where the original code came from. Our current header has no provision for this meaning anyone reading ReactOS code away from the project won't have a return point. I was talking this over with Alex, who suggested everyone might not want to give copyright to the foundation. Any suggestions? Using the existing header, I have drafted a slightly modified version /* 1 * ReactOS <place holder> 2 * Copyright (C) 2005 ReactOS Foundation 3 * 4 * LICENCE: <place holder> 5 * PROJECT: <place holder> 6 * FILE: <place holder> 7 * PURPOSE: <place holder> 8 * PROGRAMMERS: <place holder> 9 * REVISIONS: 10 * <place holder> 11 * */ 1. This is a quick line to state the area which the code was written for. Examples could include: ReactOS Executive ReactOS Win32 Subsystem ReactOS Win32 Applications 2. The copyright should detail a date when the copyright was initiated along with the date when it was last modified. For example: 1999 - 2004 The proceeding date should be updated each time a revision is made. 4. This line should state the licence used and where to find the COPYING file 5. This line should state what project / binary the code is for. Examples could include: ReactOS ntdll library ReactOS ws2_32 library ReactOS arp utility ReactOS cache manager ReactOS thread scheduler 6. This line should state the location of the file within the repository 7. This line should state the purpose of the project / binary the code is intended for 8. This line should state any programmers whom have worked on the code. The programmer can also choose to add an email address along with their name as a point of contact 9. This line should list any revisions made to the code. The revisions should include programmers initials, which can be linked to the PROGRAMMERS section, the date the revision was made and a short comment describing the revision. This is not meant for bug fixes and small modifications, but for feature additions or substantial patches I think we should put something in the wiki in relation to this. Does anyone have any other suggestions, or modifications to my header. Please see the examples below. Examples: /* * ReactOS Win32 Applications * Copyright (C) 2005 ReactOS Foundation * * LICENCE: GPL - See COPYING in the top level directory * PROJECT: ReactOS arp utility * FILE: apps/utils/net/arp/arp.c * PURPOSE: view and manipulate the ARP cache * PROGRAMMERS: Ged Murphy (gedmurphy(a)gmail.com) * REVISIONS: * GM 04/10/05 Created * */ /* * ReactOS Executive * Copyright (C) 2005 ReactOS Foundation * * LICENCE: GPL - See COPYING in the top level directory * PROJECT: ReactOS kernel * FILE: ntoskrnl/ex/mutant.c * PURPOSE: section of the kernel * PROGRAMMERS: Alex Ionescu (alex(a)reactos.org) * David Welch (welch(a)cwcom.net) * REVISIONS: * AI 04/10/05 Fix tab/space mismatching, tiny fixes to query function and * add more debug output. * */ /* * ReactOS Network Stack * Copyright (C) 2000 - 2005 ReactOS Foundation * * LICENCE: GPL - See COPYING in the top level directory * PROJECT: ReactOS TCP/IP protocol driver * FILE: transport/tcp/tcp.c * PURPOSE: Transmission Control Protocol * PROGRAMMERS: Casper S. Hornstrup (chorns(a)users.sourceforge.net) * Art Yerkes (arty(a)users.sf.net) * REVISIONS: * CSH 01/08-2000 Created * AY 12/21/2004 Added accept */

RE: [ros-dev] Voting system

Developers are put into the developer group on the board. Thus, only registered developers can vote. This will stop people from registering 50 different logins and altering the vote, which could not be controlled if everyone was allowed to vote. > 2) I don't think everyone voting is educated well enough on > the topic. This is also very true. Core design decisions cannot be made by people who do not have a deep knowledge of the subject.

Another one would be the recent discussions between Alex and Emmanuelle about splitting win32 the subsystem. This isn't a decision that people not working with the code should be making .... consider the users who come into the forums asking what version of Linux ReactOS is based on. Should they be allowed to sway this decision. To stop any animosity of users towards devs, the votes could be made hidden. However I don't think this is a requirement as I think the majority of users would understand the position on voting. It would also be interesting for users to see the voting results, and how ReactOS is developing. If there is a vote where the users input is needed, then it can obviously be placed in another section where the users have write access. This was demonstrated recently when Alex Ionescu started the poll on feature importance.

HEADERS have nothing to do with the compiler! The HEADERS have to be fixed...you're just building with mingw headers and msvc, and assuming the errors are because of msvc, but if you'll try compiling with PSDK (or vice-versa), then these changes make no sense at all.

Voting system

by Murphy, Ged (Bolton)

This seems to have died a death again, so I'm going to bring it back up. So far we have 2 viable options for the new voting system: 1. Have a new section in the forums where only the developer group has write access. Conduct all votes in there using the forums built-in voting system and posting mechanism for comments Vote results are stored in the database and everything is handled by the software All votes are anonymous / private and each developer has only one vote. 2. Design our own voting system and integrate it into the website. This will be controlled via the global login system and all devs will have access to initiate, vote and comment on votes. Vote results need to be stored in a database and everything should handled by the software All votes are anonymous / private and each developer has only one vote. Any comments or additions? ************************************************************************ The information contained in this message or any of its attachments is confidential and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee.

By using the forums, we are adopting something which has already been implemented and has been tried and tested by millions. It seems like a good place to start. We can always move it into the website if the need ever arises, and someone ever finds the time to code it.
