Life after audit

Hi all,

than it was before".
Whether means it, what all development will be suspended for the period 
of audit? I understand necessity of audit, but I am afraid, that in a 
year the urgency of the project will catastrophically fall, and it will 
hopelessly lag behind from Microsoft :(.

I want, that ReactOS have survived...

I personally don't think the audit will take years, I would say it will 
be something around three months, until we have a ReactOS that installs 
and boots up into explorer.
And anybody who wants to develop something for ReactOS can create system 
utilities that don't depend that hardly on ReactOS and would run on 
Windows (like my idea for a new setup system and a package manager).

And I think ReactOS will be more solid after the audit and development 
will be easier as everything is reorganized and more intuitive for new 
developers.

And considering Microsofts development speed, it won't be that hard to 
avoid such lags... ;-)

Greets,

Some would say tha Audit is a good thing. Time to go through code like
rbuild, and make it better in the process.

Which features do you need in rbuild?

I was referring to what was done so far, i.e. Changing the file
extensions, since they arn't 'true' XML files.

Its a shame that XML files aren't allowed to have more than one element at
the top level...

Just insert a new <rbuild> root node around the existing rbuild file
content, and you will get a valid XML structure.
