Online ReactOS Updates?

[slcoleman]

Is there any plan to provide online updates by any mechanism? I do see in the "ReactOs Applications Manager" a tab under Installed/Updates but have never seen anything appear in that location. I know there are nightly builds happening but the only way I know to stay up to date would be to do a complete reinstall. Is there a better way to get more current updates so that we can help test the current baseline?

I currently run ReactOS in a Xen virtual environment under Qubes OS and it would be great if there were a way to keep my system up to date. I would be be more likely to start actually using ReactOS if there were some way to easily upgrade to the latest baseline. Rolling back if there is a problem is easy in QubesOS, but doing a full install perhaps not. Historically I had tried to install ReactOS many times in the past but it was not until just recently that I succeeded. If there is no good way to receive these updates then I might look into scripting an install just to see if it is even possible. Just thinking out loud here because having a way to factory up the latest build could be very useful for development and testing.

hi
you can do an upgrade install of ReactOS but you are better to do a clean install of ReactOS

when I test games on ReactOS I stick with one version of ReactOS then I test the games and after some number of builds then I test the games again to check if it still works or if it starts to work and if the game stops working I try to find the build where the regression was introduced

ReactOS doesn’t support system updates yet. The only way to stay current is to manually reinstall using nightly builds.
