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.

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.
