ROS System Updater
by Rick Langschultz 28 Apr '05

28 Apr '05

I have a simple request for when ReactOS wants to add updates to system software when Service Packs and Updates become available. I think that a ReactOS computer should utilize a small system service that indexes file version numbers, indexes them on importance, size, type, and other information. This can be done on a flatfile, XML, or a SQL Database connection. Then the server sends reponses back to the computer offering service packs, files, device drivers, etc. I think that kind of system will allow easy updates to ReactOs on users computers while not having to reinstall or reformat. Something like up2date, or mac os x¹s update program. The system can maybe support rollback of files. Just an idea.

reactos.com available again
by Ge van Geldorp 28 Apr '05

Yesterday reactos.com crashed. Unfortunately, I was unable to go onsite to fix the problem yesterday. This morning, I rebooted the box and everything seems to be up and running again. It seems some mail sent to @reactos.com yesterday may have been dropped. Ge van Geldorp.

It just cannot be NTFS. You can always move partitions around. And yes, while the limitation "hurts," that's a workaround that you can use. Short of editing the source code, I'm not sure if there's much that can be done. I'll cc: this to the dev list and ask if the limitation still is there, but I personally don't see anything about it having changed. Consider that ROS is still in "early" stages of use/release. 0.3 hasn't even been released yet. I am sure that when the partition/fs code is better able to deal with multiple partition setups, it will all work as it would be anticipated it would. - Mike - -- Michael B.

Hi, If you need it here it is. Only explorer.exe does not build. The rest will compile if you shutup -Werror. For the C++ code that I have compared vs 3.4.1 its almost 2x faster. Thanks Steven __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

ReactOS Package Manager - Online (Website)
by Klemens Friedl 25 Apr '05

25 Apr '05

Hi! I programmed the ReactOS Package Manager - Online Website (started yesterday). It provide the online database (xml database) for the ReactOS Package Manager (exe) (svn: /trunk/rosapps/packmgr). Some important main function of the page already work. The page (written in php with mysql database) provide the database files (static xml files) for the client (packmgr.exe). So the Package Manager only download some static xml files (spare server resources). Url: http://frik85.fr.funpic.de/packmgr/ (for test purposes) Test the package manager (in Win32) with the new online database: * Compile the packmgr files (gui-app + dll) * change the server in option.xml to: <options> <source>http://frik85.fr.funpic.de/packmgr/db/</source> </options> * start the gui application (packmgr.exe) Wiki-Page: http://reactos.com/wiki/index.php/ReactOS_Package_Manager Klemens Friedl -- +++ GMX - Die erste Adresse f�r Mail, Message, More +++ 1 GB Mailbox bereits in GMX FreeMail http://www.gmx.net/de/go/mail

Re: [ros-svn] [ion] 14799: KD System Rewrite:
by Hartmut Birr 25 Apr '05

25 Apr '05

Hi, I've found some other problems. For the serial debug, the default baudrate is set to 19200 baud and the baudrate option has no effect. Two debug port options like "/DEBUGPORT=BOCHS /DEBUGPORT=COM2" switches my pc off. The on/off switch has no effect after this. I must remove/insert the power plug to boot the pc again. I use this option for the bootcd. The previous debug implementation has enabled the bochs and serial debug at boot phase 0 and all other debug variants at boot phase 1. Currently KdInitSystem(0, ..) is called twice. The first call is in _main and the second in ExpInitializeExecutive. - Hartmut

RE: [ros-svn] [ion] 14801: Add GDB = 1 to makefile to compile-in theGDB Wrapper. These options will be better manged with rbuild

> From: ion(a)svn.reactos.com > > Add GDB = 1 to makefile to compile-in the GDB Wrapper. These > options will be better manged with rbuild Any reason the inclusion of the GDB stub can't be keyed on the existing "DBG" var? I feel (pretty strongly) we should minimize the number of compile-time configs. Gé van Geldorp.

Please compile it in always and make it a run-time option instead to avoid this. The extra bytes are well spent. Casper
