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...

Please remove me from the mailing list - I did take my name off some
time ago but it obviously didn't get actioned!

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.

I would say it this way: To keep a specific technology like Python out of ReactOS is simply a matter of politics. 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.
Cheers
J.R.

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.
No, i'm not to keen on them either. For a good logon sound, you want something short, like the microsoft sounds. And does this mean react os will soon work with more sound drivers?

Hello all,
As most of you probably noticed, the downtime of the website was quite long
now due to the server migration.
But finally, we switched the DNS records of the ReactOS domains now, so as
soon as the DNS servers around the world got the update, you should see the
website again at the new server.
So far, the migration only affected the Website itself. Originally, we
planned to do the mail system migration as well on the same day, but ran out
of time due to some unforeseen problems with the Website migration.
This also means that you currently cannot send any E-Mails from our web
services (such as Bugzilla and phpBB). Also the mailing list archives are
currently not available.
Anyway, we're going to do the mail migration in the next 24 hours and target
these problems by then.
After all, let's come to some advantages of the upgrade:
First of all, we finally upgraded to RosCMS version 4. This version was
mainly developed by Danny and went through beta testing for quite some
months now. Some of the new features it provides include dependency handling
(so you don't need to regenerate all pages affected by your change
manually), a faster generator and a much better codebase.
Secondly, there should be notably performance improvements. A component that
especially benefits from them is Bugzilla.
Besides, we don't use a reverse-proxy for static pages any longer. This
means as much as that you don't have to press Ctrl+F5 anymore to see updated
web pages, which weren't noticed by our caching proxy.
Just try the Website out now and if you find any problems not mentioned
here, post them to this list or try to contact Danny or me on IRC directly.
Best regards,
Colin
Hello,
We're planning to migrate the Web and Mail system to a new server and
upgrade these components in the next 24 hours.
This affects the whole Website at www.reactos.org plus all @reactos.org mail
addresses including the mailing lists. During the migration, these services
may be temporarily unavailable.
The Web server migration includes upgrading the server components (e.g.
Apache, MySQL, PHP) and applications (e.g. RosCMS, phpBB) to newer versions.
Besides, the configuration of the server components was tuned for a better
overall performance.
The mail boxes, mail relays and mailing lists will be moved to a dedicated
virtual machine, which will also offer a groupware system for official
ReactOS developers and testers.
Our plan is to do this upgrade in two big steps, namely first the Website
and afterwards the mail stuff, to keep the downtime as low as possible.
Minor problems are expected after the migration and will be fixed shortly.
In case of major unforeseen problems, the downtime of particular components
might be extended to the next 48 hours.
Best regards,
Colin Finck
