0.1.5 Release

by nick_journals

Hi Guys, I'm sad to say but the 0.1.5 final will have to be undone. For some reason the files at sourceforge are all corrupt except the source, I tried a second time but it still doesn't work. I will hide the 0.1.5 final and revert to the RC. Tomorrow I will try to upload again, maybe something's wrong with my connection. I don't have a clue, but the files are truncated badly. Greets, Nick

Website layout / Bugzilla

by Andrew "Silver Blade" Greenwood

Just been in the #reactos channel and asked if there were any interesting small tasks for me to work on, and was told to go to Bugzilla on the site. I had difficulty finding it, so I asked and was told the link to the Bugzilla page. I was then told I needed to log in to see issues, so I clicked to register a new account. I was then told to go to the main page and to create an account from there. However, I can't see anywhere on the page that says "register" or "create account" or anything like that. Instead, it appears I have to click on Login on the main page (incidentally I never actually noticed this link) and then register from there. It seems a bit awkward to me. Surely it'd make more sense to have a link to registration and/or logging in right on on the main page? So that it sticks out a bit more. Just a suggestion. Apart from that I think the site's great!

Re: [umlwin32-dev] Linux.exe binary

by Steven Edwards

Hello Okajima, I understand even governments have budget limits but could you see about getting ReactOS involved in Virtual Linux for Windows? Our system clones the whole Windows NT/2k kernel enviroment. One of the goal of VLW is to be free of cygwin at some point right? Maybe developing with ReactOS will help with this.

CVS question !

by Ciobanu Alexander

I am unable to use cvs anymore. I stand over an firewall that filter the packets not on port 80. Is there a way to use proxy or somehow ??? If it is not possible is there a possibility to make source snapshots of rectos like every 3 days an place it on site ? Else, could anyone pack the cvs for this date and place it somwhere so i could download the latest sources ?

We really shouldnt need to make much changes to WINE to use Captive I would think.

The implementation we have is patent friendly as it implement SEH totaly differntly by using macros kind of like WINE. Its looking good!

I think that the imports of "PsGetVersion and NtBuildNumber" might have something to do with it. The driver works under my Windows NT 4 laptop but not ReactOS. We may just have to hard code the values to match NT 4 and it could work. If we can get it to load on ROS it will be up to you guys to figure out a way to adapt ROS+WINE to play nice together. =) Thanks Steven __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

This all sounds reasonable. We should implement it this way. -- Martin Fuchs martin-fuchs(a)gmx.net
