Hi Robert: Yes 7Zip compresses sometimes (most of the times) more than WinRAR. In fact as far as I know they both use the same algorithm for text compression. 7Zip has 3 compression algorithms so you could try all and see for yourself. It also supports streams so you can compress things from the output of one of the algorithms and make it the input of the other. For example to compress executables you could use jcc and it´s output pass it to LZMA. It also provides larger dictionaries if you want. WinRAR´s maximun size is 4 MB so usually WinRaR files are larger. When it comes about speed WinRAR is faster. But I guess that´s irrelevant right now. On the other side I think that sourceforge someday should be enhanced to give users the option to download the files in the selected format, maybe providing a link to the decompressor. Maybe I fill someday the feature request form for sourceforge It will save us and maybe will save them some time.

For a test period I'll provide both, zip and 7zip/rar and the user may decide which one will win. Additionally I'll provide a file 'how to decompress.txt' in every release. Wheras I think, people who come to download an OS know enough to find one theirselves. Making exe-files is still an option but I don't like it. So you have to convince me. _______________________________________________ Ros-dev mailing list Ros-dev(a)reactos.com http://reactos.com:8080/mailman/listinfo/ros-dev

Invitation

by Robert Köpferl

Hi, it might seem stupid or girlish, but I want to invite any of you to visit me in Vienna (wien.AT) for a couple of days. I would like to just see some of these people (and of course have freeky kernel talks) who make up this project. Get to know personally. Don't be shy and have a try with my private email. (possibly use gpg/x.509). If you think this Vienna is too far away - maybe next year I live less far away from you.

NTOSKRNL bugcheck when clicking on "My Computer C disk icon"

by Gge

With svn 14668 , Ros bugchecks when I click on the "my computer " icon and o then on the "C" disk drive icon as per debug messages below. This is a regression and it is always reproductible . I cannot say exactly when it has been broken. Any idea ? ----------------------------- PM_OPEN_WINDOW: path=C:\ KeBugCheckWithTf at ke/catch.c:237 A problem has been detected and ReactOS has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. The problem seems to be caused by the following file: ntoskrnl.exe KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED Technical information: *** STOP: 0x0000001E (0xc0000005,0x8004773e,0x00000000,0x00000006) *** ntoskrnl.exe - Address 0x8004773e base at 0x80000000, DateStamp 0x0 Page Fault Exception: 14(0) Processor: 0 CS:EIP 8:8004773e <ntoskrnl.exe:4773e (io/mdl.c:130 (IoFreeMdl))> cr2 6 cr3 d896000 Proc: 80d46990 Pid: f0 <explorer> Thrd: 80d50a68 Tid: f4 DS 10 ES 10 FS 30 GS 23 EAX: 00000000 EBX: 8004635f ECX: 00000003 EDX: 00000002 EBP: a1f76a88 ESI: 007ecdd8 ESP: a1f769d8 EDI: a1f76d74 EFLAGS: 00010282 kESP a1f769d8 kernel stack base a1f74000 Frames: <ntoskrnl.exe:3c7d0 (io/cleanup.c:112 (IoReadWriteCompletion))> <ntoskrnl.exe:3c8e0 (io/cleanup.c:211 (IoSecondStageCompletion))> <ntoskrnl.exe:4694d (io/irp.c:498 (IofCompleteRequest))> <vfatfs.sys:c65c (rw.c:775 (VfatRead))> <vfatfs.sys:dcc9 (misc.c:110 (VfatDispatchRequest))> <vfatfs.sys:de94 (misc.c:168 (VfatBuildRequest))> <ntoskrnl.exe:4627d (io/irp.c:211 (IofCallDriver))> <ntoskrnl.exe:46293 (io/irp.c:226 (IoCallDriver))> <ntoskrnl.exe:4e6b0 (io/rw.c:154 (NtReadFile))> <ntoskrnl.exe:38f2 (C:\DOCUME~1\home\LOCALS~1\Temp/ccucbaaa.s:178 (KiSystemService))> <kernel32.dll:278f6 (file/rw.c:154 (ReadFile))> Reaards Gerard

I don't really see any use for ram disks other than holding the > system volume so the media used to boot the system can be removed. Yes thats the idea. We tend to get requests for one every so often though I don't know what people use them for. There is a example driver with source code on support.microsoft.com that I always point people to.

Re: [ros-dev] Building Freeloader

Alex changed this. ntoskrnl now is PE loaded from freeldr. I think it was needed for dynamic ACPI and 3GB support. Thanks Steven __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: [ros-svn] [hbirr] 14443: - Fixed ExTimerRundown.

by Alex Ionescu

hbirr(a)svn.reactos.com wrote: >- Fixed ExTimerRundown. > > Hi, Can you please explain some of your changes? You have introduced several changes that I don't understand, such as cancelling the timer's APC without actually making sure that it has an APC associated, as well as slowing down the path and forcing additionnal locking of the DB lock by using KeCancelTimer (which also uselessly checks if the timer is inserted -- we are sure it already is). Apart from that, thanks for fixing the silly bugs! Best regards, Alex Ionescu

Building Freeloader

by Phillip Susi

Hey Brian, I've been having all kinds of weird problems getting freeloader installed and working in a boot drive image for qemu. I seem to remember you used to have to build it with djgpp instead of mingw for some odd reason. I think it had something to do with mingw's ld clobbering something up when you asked it to output a binary flat file instead of a PE image. Is this still the case? Was that issue never resolved?

Re: [ros-svn] [ea] 14479: WinTrust.dll: Update EXPORTS table

by Steven Edwards

Hello, --- ea(a)svn.reactos.com wrote: > Updated files: > trunk/reactos/lib/wintrust/wintrust.def Tappak if you are watching can you relicense wintrust as BSD v2 or LGPL/GPL? If not it will have to be removed from SVN as it has a BSD 1 license header which is GPL incompatible. Same thing with the wintrust.h Thanks Steven __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

It seems that Longhorn drops the GINA. Is it confirmed? Is it due to a broken (=insecure) design that can not be fixed? If so, should we spend time implementing GINA? Emanuele

Re: [ros-svn] [sedwards] 14429: nevermind. It helps to do a make bootcd in the terminal that has the value and /usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/opt/www/htdig/bin:/usr/lib/java/bin:/usr/lib/java/jre/bin:/opt/kde/bin:/usr/lib/qt/bin to mingw defined.

by Sylvain Petreolle

mingw32-linux is not setting ARCH=i386, this breaks make bootcd for it. (although there is an easy workaround) Kind regards, Usurp (aka Sylvain Petreolle) humans are like computers, yesterday the BIOS was all - today its just a word
