iirc jeditobe doesn't live that far from vgal
Никита
And as I see he was writing code 24/7

well, this is a serious concern to be alarmed about.

Никита
just look at this commit history

I've seen that

and mostly new functions
Benedict
Is vgal really IDAing? That worries the hell out of me if he is
Никита
Also he said that he is using Pentium E8500 system w/ 4gb ram and windows xp installed. So he can debug it's own system.

THIS IS ONLY AN ASSUMPTION! I've already asked Galyant, what docs he is reading?
Benedict
Okay

I seriously hope it ends well.

@lolkekovich actually

msdn seems to have some functions

like IRP stuff

just without "_MN_" part https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/kernel/irp-mn-query-capabilities

so there's at least some good news about it
hacker12455
Well, now we wait for an answer.

I found some Io stuff too https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/kernel/postponing-pnp-irp-processing-until-lower-drivers-finish

look at the chart
Никита
Well, if he implement these 4 functions we will be able to eject USB flash drives (?)
Anonymous
idk, I'm currently just digging through these docs in hopes to find all he has added
Никита
idk, I'm currently just digging through these docs in hopes to find all he has added
also he has forked Windows Driver Samples repo
Никита
idk why
Anonymous
about the windows driver sample, I think that's okay, since we've sent some patches upstream as well
Anonymous
well not exactly "upstream"
Anonymous
but we did have HeisSpiter sent a patch regarding one of the drivers
Никита

this whole thing kind of reminds me of that one time where microsoft accused reactos of stealing a specific function

I hope this won't cause another lockdown :/

since some of vgal work is already merged
hacker12455
Yeah...
hacker12455
We can only hope.

since some of vgal work is already merged
I think the developer team is checking the code in Pull Requests regarding non-cleanroom reverse engineering

<Fraizeraust> I see some people are very worried regarding the Vadim Galyant's commit history of PnP re-creation. Bear in mind the speculations won't do a dime, you're actually wasting time yourself. First of all, a function which has the same name like on Windows' counterpart is not a problem and that should not affect ReactOS' legality at all (then tell me, why the functions in ReactOS have the same name at all?). What it matters the most is the code of the function in question mustn't be the same like in NT systems or in the leaks.
rosbridge
<Fraizeraust> Secondly, the ReactOS Team does not simply merge a branch like his PnP branch for instance. That's not how the merging works.
rosbridge
<Fraizeraust> A proper investigation, review and audit of the code must be done before a code like of Galyant gets merged.
rosbridge
<Fraizeraust> Also, in case if you don't know, you can document yourself by actually debugging the OS such like Windows XP.
rosbridge
<Fraizeraust> There's nothing wrong with it since you DON'T look at the code but just analyze the behaviour of the OS.
rosbridge
<Fraizeraust> ALL IN ALL, my point being is that relying on speculations is only a waste of time and it does not benefit anyone. So better you might want to refrain from it.

well, TIL that you can debug actual Windows on kernel level
rosbridge
<Fraizeraust> THAT DOES NOT MEAN I deny the shady and malicious acts of someone implementing code for a project which is supposed to follow reverse and clean engineering implementation. I cannot.
rosbridge
<Fraizeraust> What I MEAN is that we must follow concise solutions and not getting so desperate.

well, judging by what kekovich said earlier; vgal has a XP machine to debug with, so I guess he uses that to obtain information

well, that XP machine is actually his MAIN PC.
Никита
Because he has some problems
Никита
Oh! Galyant was online 9mins ago
Никита
But he didn't read my message o_O
Stas'M
I think he's programming now, so he can't chat 😏

That's Vgal's post about USB and PnP
Stas'M
He says that USB stack development is delayed due to problems in PnP device enumeration
Stas'M
That's why he is reworking PnP now
rosbridge
<BieHDC> ok
rosbridge
<BieHDC> an english mirror of the vk group would be nice 😄

Google Translate 😏

<BieHDC> like that translate reliable

USB stack is delayed due to problem enumerating devices. I didn't wanted that but I am now looking deep inside the ntoskrnl and even HAL! For too long. Practically from Q1 2018... needed to learn a lot of PnP manager work.
Eventually, right now, I've sucessfully booted ReactOS LiveCD in VirtualBox (w/o network and sound) with these NT drivers replaced:
a big list of drivers here
Then I decided to stop and push my changes to github repo (you check it at github.com/vgalnt/reactos/tree/boot_with_nt_drv)
Никита
Here, English translation
Никита
Sorry, I don't know German language ;(
Никита
Maybe you (BieHDC) can learn me?
Никита
<BieHDC> an english mirror of the vk group would be nice 😄
well you still need to PROPERLY translate posts to English
Eris
do discord people know to which message we're replying to? the IRC client didnt display that

Nope, they don't, you can't properly reply, I hate that!
rosbridge
<BieHDC> we see replies like this
well you still need to PROPERLY translate posts to English (re @matterbridge1bot: <BieHDC> an english mirror of the vk group would be nice 😄)
rosbridge
<BieHDC> i could learn you some german, but i would likely only teach you stuff you never need
rosbridge
<BieHDC> we dont see stickers tho 😦

That's sad
