buy BeOS rights

Forum thread started by key on Thu, 2014-04-17 15:35

hello

can haiku inc. ask hp how much the rights on BeOS costs? so we can develop haiku faster.
its to slow evolving, i would be a old person, when its finished, something must gonna change.
it can become faster, we need money, kickstarter, advertisement, investors how google had it at the beginning.
haiku dont have no html5 webbrowser which i can buy online stuff, watch videos, watch websites, it has no appeal for new users, it must have the features a simple netbook browser-based os has.
or is the problem, that so long haiku is not the final version, thats impossible to write software, because it would destroi the software with every new alpha state, so its not appealing to make an app?
when thats the biggest slowdown, we need only the money for more programmers.
we need a steve jobs in the haiku community...who is our leader...who says how haiku should be evolving, what we should do?

arigatou!

Amazon Smile another 0.5% of purchase goes to selected charity.

Just go to smile.amazon.com to set it up. I don't think it adds anything to the cost of your purchace but if alot of people were to add it I'm sure the donations would add up.

They donate half a percent of your purchase to the charity of your choice.

OpenSSL

Forum thread started by ronald-scheckelhoff on Sat, 2014-04-12 19:46

Now that the internet is rocking with the OpenSSL flaw news, I took a look at WebPositive on the SSL test site:

https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/viewMyClient.html

The WebPositive I'm using on Alpha-3 gave me the following (partial)
result when visiting the test page. I wonder if the TLS compression
has been disabled in the latest WebPositive builds? I don't have a
machine here to test them ...

  • Server Name Indication (SNI) Yes
  • Secure Renegotiation Yes
  • TLS compression Yes   INSECURE !!!
  • Session tickets No
  • OCSP stapling No

How about the system libraries for OpenSSL in general (ie relative to Heartbeat bug) ?

Are the Haiku versions OK?

Do haiku support multi user and /procfs?

Forum thread started by neckTwi on Thu, 2014-04-10 12:42

Past 2 years I got obsessed with Object Oriented Philosophy. Recently I google for Object Oriented OSs. In wikipedia I read "One attempt at creating a truly object-oriented operating system was the BeOS" and tried haiku VM. I fell in love with its interface and speed. But got disappointed with lack of /procfs. I believe processes are objects of operating system so they should have place in root of the file system. And also I found etc/passwd nearly empty, I hope unix like multiuser mode is under development. So I would like to ask

1. Is'nt necessary to have /procfs?
2. Is multiuser mode under development?

Thank you

Applications

Forum thread started by kemps4 on Wed, 2014-04-02 00:46

Just a thought - would it be helpful to have an Applications section in the forums? Normally I imagine if someone had a question about Poorman, StyledEdit or WebPositive I imagine they might post it under 'User Support' or 'General Haiku Discussion'. It seems that this might fragment where these type of questions are posted (sort of ambiguous). I'm thinking that a 'Application support' section would be helpful.

Helping out with creating HPKG for LAZARUS

Forum thread started by streak on Sun, 2014-03-30 07:27

[cross-posted from haikuware]

Hiya

I've built already fpc hpkg which is needed for making lazarus and i ported qt4pas which is also essential, but still i cant
properly build lazarus :<. The problem might be trivial. for example:

when i build lazarus [1.0.4] everything goes fine, until runtime. When i want to run it lazarus complains about missing libs [which already in the system {qt libs} as a hpkg pack], so i re-copied qt libs into lazarus's lib directory. After that when starting lazarus im getting 'missing symbol: UnWind GetRegionStart' error :/

Any help will be apreciated, since we will all benefit from having an excellent Rapid Application Development IDE.

these two [fpc+qt4pas] are already in haikuware [just uploaded]

http://haikuware.com/directory/view-details/hpkgs/qt4pas

btw. Im using gcc2h [hrev47061] with official QT libs from HaikuDepot and compiling lazarus in terminal with:
setarch x86
make LCL_PLATFORM=qt
