| Re: [mylyn-reviews-dev] Fwd: Workaround for #386998 |

Hi Jean, Since the only problem to run on a Window XP is the command to set the permission “icacls” by “cacls” Two possibilities:
1-
Create an alias on your PC to run “cacls” when “icacls” is called OR
2-
You can download the R4E code, modify the code and use maven to recompile your executable, this will work The file to modify is “org.eclipse.mylyn.reviews.r4e.core.utils.filePermission/WindowPermission.java”
line 48, replace by “cacls” Best Regards, Jacques From: mylyn-reviews-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mylyn-reviews-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx]
On Behalf Of Jacques Bouthillier Hi Jean, As already explained in the bug
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=386998, R4E is storing the review information on a file shared amongst the reviewer and we need to set the file permission
for those review files. Window XP is using a method “calcls” to set permission and R4E is using “icacls” which is a newer method and works better with newer operating system. Next fall, R4E is moving to use the git server to store the review meta data. Since this is a server, there will not be any file permission being set any longer. So if you are using “git” as a configuration manager, it will
probably be fine even under Window XP version. Best Regards, Jacques From:

On Behalf Of Jean Couillaud Hi, First, I apologize if this is not the proper ml to post this request to, I have not found a reference to a user ml (and
mylyn-reviews-users@xxxxxxxxxxx does not work). I was trying r4e and stumble upon this anomaly : I am wondering if there might be a workaround to render r4e usable on windows XP.. I have no choice ATM to use something else, does it mean it is a no go to test the features ? best regards, Jean |
