Reaction project announcement
by François Prunier 04 Oct '09

04 Oct '09

Hi, I decide to join the mailing list to comment on this announcement and the way it has been treated. I've been following the development of this project and had a good hope it will develop into a full mature soon enough. However the replies of Marius Przybylski and Zachary Gorden showed me that's far from being the case. Sorry you guys, you may not agree with the guy who did, but treating someone who's done something for the project with the kind of responses you had is highly immature and just plain stupid. It only harms the project and confort the opinion that's it's not a friendly environment to work in. Wonder why there isn't that many devs maybe? I have little hope you'll actually understand that or act on it but we'll see... Francois Prunier

FW: Reaction project announcement

As an incapable user I am just happy that someone thought of coming up with a software repository idea for Reactos. It works well in Ubuntu and anyway why should Linux have all the good stuff n ideas? Another good linux practice that would work for Windows/Reactos is a dedicated partition for your memory swap file to prevent defragging over time.

Yes, politics. It would be rather wise to choose the technology which is most suitable, and when it comes to runtime environments, interpreters etc., it is very important to get as many of them as possible runnable on ReactOS. This will attract more developers and testers. Yes, ReactOS is not Linux...but it still has one thing in common: It is targeted towards those who find Win*** too un-free and expensive.

Reaction project announcement.
by David Zaragoza 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

Hello I'm pleased to announce the release of Reaction: an aptitude like application written specifically for ReactOS, developed in python. The project homepage is http://code.google.com/p/reaction/ The project have two goals: to provide a repository of free software applications that are known to work decently, i.e doesn't crash, with the latest release of ReactOS; And to provide an automated way to install a set of applications that make a desktop system, eg. Web browser, email client, media player, etc. on ReactOS, something like the GNU/Linux distributions like Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Mandriva and others. Software freedom is really important to me, that's why Reaction is completely free software and the application repository will only have free software applications. There is an installer available at http://reaction.googlecode.com/files/reaction.exe If you have some free time please check it out, and report any bugs you find to http://code.google.com/p/reaction/issues/list Please remember this is the first release of reaction and it will have bugs for sure, so please be patient. I'll write some documentation this weekend, but if you are familiar with aptitude, I'm pretty sure there will be no problem figuring reaction out. I hope you find it useful. Regards. David Zaragoza ps. Try 'reaction install reactos-desktop' for a bundle of nice desktop applications. There are only three applications at the moment, but it will grow.
