Hello Future Haiku Comunity:
A long time the BeOS comunity is waiting for a first version of OpenBeos (Haiku). When release a full test version ?
.: Xirtam :.
Test versions of haiku code/components *are* readily available now...but I suspect you are referring to the kernel and app_server pieces which are still incomplete.
As has been stated several times before, you can actually take many components of Haiku and replace BeOS R5 components with them. I believe some BeOS PE-based distros already do this...
So essentially, it's slowly taking the place of R5, piece by piece... When the kernel and app_server are done (and "done" is hard to define here, as the kernel may already be somewhat-usable on some hardware) I suspect you will start to see ISO's and everything you're expecting from an "ordinary" OS project...
networking kit, printing kit, input kit, translation kit, etc. are there... not sure of their usability. I might grab a few of them when I get home and test 'em out.
As a new-comer myself to the Haiku project (long-time BeOS user/fan) I recently jam'd the current source tree (as of Monday night).
If anyone's interested I'll be putting together a small BeOS site shortly which will feature my rambling on BeOS (along with a slightly updated 'how to build the source' document and locally-stored build tools). I can also make the apps available there if that helps (although there is a build factory already in place on this site).
I might grab a few of them when I get home and test 'em out.
I grabbed the whole Haiku build factor distro and jam packages collection before I left work and took 'em home with me (I have a pathetic dialup connection with max. throughput of 31.2kbps)
I quickly realized that my recently re-installed Max V3.1 HD was in no condition to actually use... (no network connectivity, turned out to be a driver issue) so I didn't get a chance to test anything out.
It's very incomplete, but my Haiku site is now up. Specifically, the packages I managed to build are available (in /pkgs/) - they total around 71Mb, although the bulk of this is the /bin/ tools folder. Anyhow, the URL is:

Comunity need beta version now.
When it's ready (TM)
Personally I'm really stoked by all the process of late, I feel it getting closer all the time. Rock on guys.
Comunity need beta version now.
I don't know how accurate this progress graph is, but here is a progress graph: http://haiku-os.org/learn.php?mode=status&haikuusersession=37d897399f01a...

maybe someone knowledgeable enough can put together a package of Haiku components that are testable (note "testable", not "production quality")?
if someone can provide a detailed list, i'll give it a shot.

The best place to start is the jam packages available from the build factory:

go to bottom of page.

Re: Site now up...
I'm not sure if this is part of the incompleteness, but projects.html and building.html are 404.
Just thought I'd tell you incase it isn't (permissions problem?).

Yeah, sorry - I wanted to make the packages section available. The 404's are to be expected I'm afraid... :oops:
