This article explains how to manipulate resources of a binary file such as an executable using the xres command. Although listres can also work with resources, xres makes it superfluous.
Instead of contacting the Haiku Project directly... ...have you checked or consulted any of the following online resources?
General info: About and General FAQ pages Development info: Development pages Questions and other inquiries: Mailing Lists, IRC channels, and the Community Forum Press inquiries, vulnerability disclosures, or other sensitive material can be conveyed to the Haiku project directly by emailing contact@[domain-name].
As i discovered recently, WebPositive is unable to authenticate to a Microsoft proxy, as such proxies use a proprietary protocol named NTLM. So I came to an easy solution :
Download NTLMAPS (from another computer of course) : it is a tiny Python script able to talk to a Microsoft proxy Edit the main.py script to replace the string /usr/bin/python by /bin/python Configure the server.cfg file with your domain/username/password Put a link to main.
Hello world, The autumn leaves are falling, which sets the perfect mood for... The yearly coding sprint!
The room was not too crowded this year, to say the least. We started the week with Jonathan (js), Olivier (oco), François (mmu_man), Jérôme (korli), but they all left on monday and tuesday, leaving just Jua and me for the end of the week. The sprint was still productive, and quite a lot of progress was made, especially on the web browser.
Depending on the kind of application, localization can become much more than having the strings that appear in the GUI available in different languages. If you came to learn about those more in-depth techniques, dealing with formatting and using ICU etc., this isn't the article you seek... This article discusses the relatively simple problem of localizing an app's GUI strings.
1. Changes to the source code The needed changes to the source code are minimal.
Having the official repository, HaikuPorts, is nice, but not all software fits there.
For example, some software is made with the yab buildfactory and the author does not want to distribute it in source code, even if it is open source. Some is just easier to package using the package command and not haikuporter.
This does not prevent the software from being listed in HaikuDepot.
The following organisations are the driving force behind the open source development of Haiku: The Haiku development team A group of people known as the development team runs and manages the project. They have the permissions to edit and triage tickets on the bug tracker, push and merge code to the repositories, and also get voting rights in important project decisions.
The development team is not a legal entity, but a group of people managing the technical aspects of the project: coding guidelines, tools to use for collaboration, and general direction of the development of Haiku.
The Haiku Project is proud to work with other organisations on social initiatives to get more young people involved in the open source community. We believe our track record below speaks louder than words:
Google Summer of Code | Google Inc The Google Summer of Code™ is a program that offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source projects. Haiku made its debut as a mentoring organization in 2007, and has since been chosen to participate every year.
The standards that govern the Haiku community are similar to the Unwritten Constitutions that govern some countries, where their constitution simply acts as an aggregation of other laws, rather than a standalone constitution.
These rules are not final, and subject to change over time as problems, potential improvements or issues arise.
Our policies are listed below in a summarized manner:
Communication General rules Users are to refrain from delving into discussions about religion, politics, and other similar subjects.
