[Freedos-devel] help for the freedos bugzilla
hi sorry for somehow offtopic and posting to the 2 ml's but i know of ppl who are just in one of them... the freedos bugzilla runs on one of my systems. but its too slow and sometimes theres errors. this is because its running on a rather small box. long storry why etc. is there somebody who wants to take over the task moving the stuff from one site to the other. the current one is a debian box the target system is a solaris10 container (shouldnt make much problems since it runs on perl and thats avalible on both systems) it got moved twice and everytime there where some problems, (missing perl stuff, css not right etc etc). the person who helped bevore is right now covered with work and told me he cant help in the near future. regards tassilo - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel

Eric Auer schrieb: Hi Jim, Since you mentioned tassilo's hosting offer: why did *you* promise that *I* would pay for the server hosting? Several times, I asked I never did promise that. what i wrote to jim hall was : ... bout the payment eric said that u r plannning to donate some money or so. well as i said to him : if its freedos and/or some other non -commerical stuff u can have it for free as long as u wont use up to much resources. ... i said planning to donate there was no eric told me you pay for it. and as i also wrote, i dont want money for it anyway, its a contribution to the freedos project. my english isnt that good so if i implied something i am sorry. . a you to cc me on your conversations with tassilo on this topic, but you chose to keep me out of the loop. Now I find out that you Tassilo chose not to CC in a few mails even though I did tell him about your wish / did refer him to you about some further details. It would have made little sense to forward our German mails to you afterwards either ;-). There were no bad intentions involved here. after u told me that i should cc to jim since u r verreist (whats that in english, on a jurney maybe). he emailed me directly so i answerd him directly. anyway there where only 2 emails with us that i remembered and them i forwarded tojim , forgetting that he might not understand them, but if u think he got all emails. volunteered that Jim would donate $$ for the hosting. I'm very uncomfortable with that. that you would be the one to pay... If Tassilo believed this would be the case, he misunderstood me. Actually if there was some pay as said before, i never expected to get money and i even offered it for free. Anyway, let us not get distracted from the main goal here, upgrade or replace our bugzilla :-). Sorry for any confusion related to this. Let us try to CC everybody about this more often to avoid future confusion :-). yes, sorry if it was me that caused the problems i didnt wanted to. i am sorry. greetings and have a nice day. tassilo - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Hi We had a major failor in our hardware. 3 Harddisks died at the same time (well there it goes ur raid5). anyway never saw something like that. the irc network was affected because on one of the nodes our i7c.org hub was running. i configured a new hub (balamb) and we r linked again. the only server thats NOT linked is irc2 since its admin is on vacation (i already emaied him). anyway irc.i7c.org is a roundrobin in our dns so that u always get a running one. one last problem was that nobody was able to log into balamb since i had a little config error, but thats fixed and everything runs smoth except that irc2 isnt linked. eric since you -for what ever reason- refuses to use domain names the savest server would be 62.75.152.234 for you. another system that was affected was the emails. i think all mails got send sucessfully to the backup mx but in case i wont answer to some of ur emails pls send it again. thanks a lot and sorry for the problems. tassilo - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

On 8/18/06, Andre Tertling [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I would not say so. Michael compared MS DOS behaviour to FreeDOS behaviour to find a bug. To ensure compatibility (interoperability), even limited reverse engineering would have been allowed in Germany. But that was not IMHO reverse engineering a legally acquired program is completely different thing than using illegally acquired program. even necessary, as only the behaviour, not the code, of MS DOS was checked to find what turned out to be a bug in QuickBASIC 4... Yet I suggest that experiments with MS DOS are best done by those people who already do own MS DOS. Normally we get reports like this works on MS DOS and when I change to FreeDOS it breaks, so the bug reporters are likely to be MS DOS owners :-). But then, those are often no programmers. If you want maximum legality, we could purchase a copy of MS DOS for testing purposes. Eric, here is your signboard :D Please don't feed the trolls. It's not good for them, nor is it for us ;) P.S. I am sure I have a stack of MS-DOS licenses somewhere in the basement. If someone really wants to have one, feel free to apply. I don't really know if it's legal to use illegally acquired program if you have a license for the program but not the program itself. Just to close this IMO silly thread ;) I find it sad that many Free Software/Open Source developers find it silly or trolling to fully consider legal matters, and I'm not talking just FreeDOS.

While FreeDOS 1.0 is delayed because we keep adding features to our wishlist. Some of which are beyond MS DOS 6.xx! I wasn't really thinking MS DOS 1.0, but the attitude that 1.0 version is a bug-free version which doesn't have any known bugs and preferably not even unknown ones. So, please let me (or us) know which aspects of FreeDOS are still broken enough to justify further delays in the FreeDOS 1.0 release. I do think that if we compare to Linux, FreeDOS 1.0 is worth at least the maturity of Linux 2.2 :-). It's just that the general attitude here recently seems to be that FreeDOS 1.0 will be released soon, whether it has known bugs or not. -- Markus Laire - Using Tomcat but need to do more?
