Hello all,Hinweis: Außerdem läuft zur Zeit ein "Website Design Contest" (>Link<) bis zum 20.August 09 und ein "ReactOS-Logon Sound Wettbewerb" (>Link<).
I just wanted to announce some upcoming changes. Comments are appreciated.
Official removal of i486 support
------------------------------The Mingw-w64 project held an internal meeting today. One of the decisions was to remove support for architectures older than i586 from their code. As we already use some of their runtime code and loosely planned to switch to a mingw-w64 x86/x64 multilib toolchain once that is released and stable (which should be the case in gcc 4.5.x), we will be affected by this change, too.
Of course, the Mingw-w64 code would just add another problem to the pot of i486 incompatibilities. For example, some of our assembly code makes use of the CMPXCHG8B
instruction (introduced in the Pentium).
Though I don't know anybody, who tried a recent ReactOS build on an i486 machine, I also never found a statement about the official removal of i486 support. So as long as nobody objects, let's officially declare i486 support abandoned now.
ISO cleaning on iso.reactos.org
------------------------------
As we were right before running out of space on the ISO storage server (in fact, that would have happened when Aleksey was on his planned holiday trip :D), I've installed a script to clean old ISOs automatically now. The script will remove bootcd-dbg ISOs older than 2 years and all other ISOs older than half a year. This should free enough space while keeping enough important ISOs for tracking down old regressions.
Testman log cleaning
---------------------
Another service that takes more space than you might think is Testman. Logs for ~1300 revisions currently take around 2 GB. My plan would be to delete logs (not the actual test result numbers) older than half a year to keep the used space for them on an almost constant level. If nobody objects, such a script will be installed in the upcoming days.
Best regards,
Colin
