Haven Wine with Slander
by James Tabor 14 Feb '06

14 Feb '06

Hi all! Opt From: http://software.newsforge.com/software/06/02/01/1630225.shtml?tid=132&tid=25 Jeremy White, founder and chief executive officer of CodeWeavers, which develops a commercial product based on Wine, said a number of developers from ReactOS have contributed to Wine, but several have been banned from contributing to the project because of concerns about code they offered. This was not necessarily because the code included something stolen or illegal, but because Alexandre Julliard, chief technology officer for Codeweavers, reviews the contributed code and was concerned about what the banned individuals had claimed as their own. Who was banned? Code claimed as their own? So all ReactOS developers are bad people and banned? So where did the Wine kernel32 handle code come from? Wine test fails on Ros why does it pass on Windows and Wine? Thanks for the slander, James

Moving svn to another contrury or not
by Magnus Olsen 02 Feb '06

02 Feb '06

here is a letter from JvA. As most people know we have talk to move svn to another place. Dear ReactOS Crew, I spoke today with Lysators highest administrator Kalle, and he told me that there should be no problem what so ever for Lysator to host you. However, in order for us to host you we need a letter from you where you ask us to host you, and specify what you want to use the server for. This letter is needed for bureaucratic reasons. The root group needs to officially grant you the right to be hosted in our server hall, and marked as a Lysator-project. What the root group wants to know is what you intend to use the server for and what ports you need open in the firewall. The security rules in Lysator strictly says that only Lysator members are allowed to have administrator/root accounts on the servers in the server hall. The person who would administrate your server would be me. People outside Lysator, like the ReactOS developers, are however allowed to have normal SSH-accounts. Bandwidth is not a problem. Kalle told me that Lysator has been granted a secondary gbit-connection if the current one isn't enough. By the way, the server hall has UPS:es to make sure the servers are online even if there are would be electrical difficulties. When you have had a meeting and decided what you want hosted in the Lysator server hall, send me a letter where you ask us to host you and I'll give it to Kalle. When you officially have been granted to be hosted by us, you need to supply us with a server, 1U or 2U. If you want, I could build it for you here in Linköping if you collect money and let GreatLord buy the parts. The OS that the server would run would be Gentoo Linux. I will of course install Apache, SVN, cross-compile GCC and whatever you need on the server for you. Best regards, Fredrik Smedberg (JvA)
