To check that these changes are correct, checkout in a directory (let's call it "ros_svn") the /trunk/reactos/ of our read-only SVN repo r76032 and in /trunk/reactos/modules/, the rosapps, rostests and wallpapers. In a second directory (let's call it "ros_git"), clone the corresponding Git-converted ReactOS directory. Before applying this patch (and the previous one that added back the empty directories), you should see additional files in ros_git that are not in ros_svn, corresponding to these files I'm deleting here (plus some .gitignore files), and you should also see additional files in ros_svn that do not appear in ros_git: these are the empty directories I've restored in my previous patch. Now, after the application of both the previous patch that restores the empty directories (and deletes the .gitignore files), and this patch that removes the ghost files, you should only see that the only differences between ros_git and ros_svn are the extra .keep files in the empty directories, and that's all! Command-line for the tests: diff --strip-trailing-cr -r ros_svn ros_git > diff_svn2git.txt "-r" means recursive, and "--strip-trailing-cr" ignores the CR-LF vs. LF (or CR) EOLs. (*): by "ghost" old(*) files I understand files that existed previously in the far past, that then were deleted long ago in SVN, and that popped out back during the Git migration. |

ReactOS Project
Current version: 0.4.6
Quick Links
What is ReactOS?
ReactOS™ is an Open Source effort to develop a quality operating system that is compatible with applications and drivers written for the Microsoft® Windows™ NT family of operating systems (NT4, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, Seven).
The ReactOS project, although currently focused on Windows Server 2003 compatibility, is always keeping an eye toward compatibility with Windows Vista and future Windows NT releases.
The code of ReactOS is licensed under GNU GPL 2.0+.
Building
To build the system it is strongly advised to use the ReactOS Build Environment (RosBE). Up-to-date versions for Windows and for Unix/GNU-Linux are available from our download page at: http://www.reactos.org/wiki/Build_Environment/
Alternatively one can use Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) version 2010+. Building with MSVC is covered here: https://www.reactos.org/wiki/Building_with_MSVC
Binaries
To build ReactOS you must use run configure script in the directory you want to have builds. Choose configure.cmd or configure.sh depending on your system. Then run ninja <modulename> to build a module you want or just ninja to build all modules.
Bootable images
To build a bootable CD image run ninja bootcd from the
build directory. This will create a CD image with a filename bootcd.iso.
See "Building ReactOS" for more details.
Installing
ReactOS can only be installed on a machine that has a FAT16 or FAT32 partition as the active (bootable) partition. The partition on which ReactOS is to be installed (which may or may not be the bootable partition) must also be formatted as FAT16 or FAT32. ReactOS Setup can format the partitions if needed.
To install ReactOS from the bootable CD distribution, extract the archive contents. Then burn the CD image, boot from it, and follow instructions.
See "Installing ReactOS" Wiki page or INSTALL for more details.
Testing
If you discover a bug in ReactOS search on JIRA first - it might be reported already. If not report the bug providing logs and as many information as possible.
See "File Bugs" for a guide.
NOTE: The bug tracker is not for discussions. Please use #reactos Freenode IRC channel or our forum.
More information
ReactOS is a Free and Open Source operating system based on the Windows architecture, providing support for existing applications and drivers, and an alternative to the current dominant consumer operating system.
It is not another wrapper built on Linux, like WINE. It does not attempt or plan to compete with WINE; in fact, the user-mode part of ReactOS is almost entirely WINE-based and our two teams have cooperated closely in the past.
ReactOS is also not "yet another OS". It does not attempt to be a third player like any other alternative OS out there. People are not meant to uninstall Linux and use ReactOS instead; ReactOS is a replacement for Windows users who want a Windows replacement that behaves just like Windows.
More information is available at: https://www.reactos.org.
Also see the media\doc subdirectory for some sparse notes.
Who is responsible
Active devs are listed as members of GitHub organization. Also see the CREDITS file for others.
Code mirrors
The main development is done on GitHub. We have an alternative mirror it case GitHub is down.
There is also an obsolete SVN archive repository that is kept for historical purposes.
