[ros-dev] reactos.inf

[Stefan Naumann]

Hello.

I am the guy writing an updater for ReactOS. Recent tests show some 
difficulties and errors in data from reactos bootcds; mainly reactos.inf:

My program reads reactos.inf, puts the filepaths together and copies 
files to the specified positions in folder-tree (I'm talking about the 
server's side). It seems that reactos.inf contains pretty weird data; 
opening reactos.inf with gedit shows it intact; reading it with the 
program gets the following things out (shortened):

" -- 6 -->cache/files/���
"

should be "cache/files/inf" (with cache/files" beeing the path of all 
cached files, unpacked from bootcd-ISO.

and (in the same context):

"
-- 5 = system32\drivers\etc
-- 6 = inf
-- 7 = bin
-- �Í = bin\data
-- 9 = media
-- 10 = Microsoft.NET
"

("--" comes from debug-function of my iniparser).

Is this intended to be as is or not? Could someone please fix that or 
let me know whether I should think about doing something differently. 
I'm working and testing with Xubuntu 13.04 amd64 - always getting latest 
dbg-BootCD-ISO.

Thanks peope.
