the message means you have downloaded our beta packs (We call nightlies).

Since you are not on the testing team that means that the two of you are Sneaks!
you have Snuck into our nightly server without permission!

NORMALY if you stick to our official releases you will Not see that message...

It is not a problem it is by design... your DriverPacks BASE is working correctly!

Normal teasing replys wrote:

SO now I must ask you Where did you get those packs! hmmm?
Base has told us you are using our Test Packs,
Where did you get that, Since neither of you are on the testing team? roll
(It's a joke... and it is a red flag, if your not a testing team member)

YOU HAVE BEEN CAUGHT WITH YOUR HAND IN THE COOKIE JAR! ROFL


Nightlies are NOT to be used for production machines...
They are for testing only!!! (Normaly only for use by our testing team members)
Since you are using the test packs, you sneaks, please let us know how they are working for you wink.
Feedback on the nightlies helps us to release more quickly wink.

Again Nightlies are NOT for production use - testing only!

This IS NOT anything to worry about! It is simply an indicator that the version you have localy is newer than what is on the server...

Since those do seem to be the current 'official' releases that may indicate an issue with the versions the server is reporting to the update checker in DriverPacks BASE.

Don't worry about it! It's just a little comedy that Bâshrat the Sneaky wrote into BASE about 5 years ago.


Thanks for reporting! I'll take a look at it... Just ignore the message wink

Via USB? Nope...

Please do! There is no doubt that it is better for everyone to pool our efforts than to work independently.

Our doors are always open to new team members, especialy those with a proven track record!

Thanks again for your interest in being a team player! All my frustrations have been eliminated. big_smile

I'm not surprised we repackaged all of them last week for an upcoming BASE release that supports a new folder structure

the ones that are *s.7z are probably the ones he actually has modded wink

the rest are ours and the 3rd party DriverPack are right off our server wink

If you intend to list everyones names you are looking at about 50 names or more wink


Just Say the Bâshrat the Sneaky's DriverPacks Team and call it a day wink


If you want to list Greg and SamLab then you need to also point out that they have just modified our packs
(they are not original works! - they are forks of our work)

QuarQ i have no idea about

Muiz is the original author of almost all of the NT6 packs wink



the point i am trying to make here is that you can't credit someone like SamLab without ALSO crediting EVERY SINGLE PERSON who contributed to that pack before he did. He may have updated a driver but what about the person who originally added it? What about the person who reported it missing in the forum and provided a link to it? What about Bâshrat the Sneaky aka Wim Leers who wrote the first pack?  You simply can't just pick one person and say they did any particular pack Because that is not the case. the packs have been developed by a TEAM of people over many years.

the only fair and equitable solution is to credit them all IE "The DriverPacks Team" if you begin to single out individuals then you have to credit them all and trying to figure out who has done what over the last 7 years will take you longer than it did to write your application wink

No... clearly the only fair and equitable choice is to credit everyone equally, it was, and is, and will continue to be, a team effort.

it is not fair to call a pack SamLab's and credit him alone when 90% of the work done on that pack was not done by him. It does make sense for him to put his name on a pack he modded, same for greg, that way it allows us to see that it is a fork... I do not belive either of these guys attempts to claim them as original works wink and neither should you promote them that way in your app...

no more than it would be fair for you to attempt to call your project the BadPointer Solution, based on you being the last person to add something to it. wink

@SamLab - You know that I love and respect you! I chose you for my example because I feel that you do know how much I do respect you and your contributions to our project. You are truly a DriverPacks hero. I used you only for example and did not mean anything personal!

I am not familiar with QuarQ but greg i am see my last post again i edited it

and Sam is just leaking our nighlties (our test packs wink) yes he works on some of them too. lots of other people do also wink

http://driverpacks.sytes.net/driverpacks/

again i think it is you who is confused wink

We don't like having our test packs released and Sam knows it so he releases them himslef that does not make it / them his work wink you will find those packs on our nightly server wink

gregs work is a fork of OUR work

all of those packs are downlaoded from here wink

and SamLab is a respected member of our team at DriverPacks ...

and greg just modifies existing DriverPacks packs (he did not create them himself he just mods our packs wink)

I think it is you who is confused

I think The DriverPacks Team is known as Bashrat in the RUnet to distinguish from the other driverpacks. But what I was asking is a general term what would refer to people who makes driverpacks.
Also I don't know how to give a proper credit to the other driverpacks so I would prefer a common credit which lists all maintainers without giving a preference to a particular team.

Bâshrat the Sneaky's DriverPacks Team @ DriverPacks.net

that is all of us... Bâshrat the Sneaky our Leader (Real name Wim Leers), Me the programmer (Real name Jeff Herre), the XP packs team, the Vista packs team (Most notable contributers, Muiz and mr_smartepants), the testing team, and our members who provide feedback. All of these people equally help us to help you.

The "DriverPacks.net Team"


PS there is only one DriverPacks wink tongue

PSS Your genuine concern and dilgence in addressing this matter has gone a long way to reverse my initial frustration with your project. Thank You for taking your personal time to make sure our projects compliment and respect each other.

We refer to ourselves collectively as the DriverPacks Team. I don't believe that any one member of our team is any more important than another we each donate what we can when we can and all appreciate each other in kind. 

A list of names is not a good idea, someone might get left out. programers, pack contributors, testers and our users who provide feedback are all very important!

Wim may have a suggestion as to specific wording, IDK.

Just say something nice! A link to our home page would be Awesome!

Try something along the lines of
"Our project proudly uses the DriverPacks provided by DriverPacks.net"
"Thanks to the DriverPacks Team, Our drivers are primarily provided by DriverPacks.net"
"Powered by DriverPacks.net DriverPacks - Our thanks to the DriverPacks Team"
"The hardworking DriverPacks Team at DriverPacks.net Provides the archives we use"
Just say something! big_smile

I for one feel we have made a major contribution to your project!
All we want is a little recognition of our work... Wouldn't you?
after you guys all become millionaires a donation might be nice too. wink smile tongue

PS Yes if you see another project that is using our packs make sure they also give us a little credit!
Most of them already do, but if not they should. wink - A link to our site and a short thank you goes a long way toward creating good will and mutual respect in our community. We all have the same basic desire to help the community at large, show us the respect you yourself would like to receive! (How would you feel if DriverPack Solution did not mention you!)

thanks for the explaination and the links! I still think your project is dead without our packs wink
Without drivers it is not much good big_smile Just saying... how hard would it be to credit us? One line,
Thanks to DriverPacks.net for the DriverPacks! or This project is supported by DriverPack.net 
It is not much to expect nor do I think it is unreasonable.

PS the download i got from the page (DRPSu9Pro) had 47 driverpacks and all of them were from us wink

(50 replies, posted in Software)

it was not your post that had my feathers so ruffled it was the fact that your project totally depends on the DriverPacks yet we are never mentioned...

and i asked wim about it and he said that no once i deleted it it was gone for good... which is why it is so important that I (or anyone else) don't ever do that sad again my apologies. I really screwed up on that one

it was not your post that offended it was the projects lack of recognition that it was DriverPacks that made your project possable.
Lots of people put lots of time into the creation of the driverpacks - it is the culmination of over 6 years of work. dozens of pack contributers, thousands of users feedback and of course Wims creating and maintaining this Project. You have simply created a wrapper for our packs, I wrote a tool that does the exact same thing over a year ago (it is only available to the testing team) it wasn't very difficult to do either. the difficult part is the assembly of the packs wink your failure to recognize our hard work really set me off... sorry 

summary:
Create a wrapper takes a few months (I wrote the code for my tool in two days albiet with no GUI)
Creating the DriverPacks themselves took 6 years.

Who put in the lion share of the work on 'your' project? yet we are not mentioned, even in passing... sad

Kind of rude to repackage our packs (and the new version is $20) and not even mention us.

So my vote is for Romeo big_smile!

@Misha - I consider you guys to be low-lifes your app is totaly dependent on the DriverPacks. IE without our DriverPacks you would have nothing to offer AT ALL yet you never mention us at all not in the forum not in the app not in the about button of your app and yet you have copied our packs in their entirety without giving us so much as a nod... I have removed the link from your post. and I am fowarding this Info to Wim Leers... I for one am not happy that you are using our hard work without giving us credit for making your project even possable. Without our packs your project would be dead in the water IMHO. We will wait and see what Bâshrat the Sneaky thinks.

I'm terribly sorry for hijacking this tread.

I'm a developer of DriverPack Solution which was mentoined in this thread. I created a new tread for it and wrote a long post(it took me more then 3 hours). The tread was completely deleted without an explanation. If I had not enough problems with the way the the things were going lately, like turning the GPL project into a commercial software and asking me not to a new version of the program till users get their paid DVDs and spreading dangerous fakes of DriverPack Solution all over the Internet.

Yes, it's a very bad time to bring attention to the project and I'm ashamed to be a part of it right now. If it's inappropriate to explain and discuss the situation, please remove all the posts where DriverPack Solution is mentioned.

That's a pretty bold accusation!

Ususally, we do not delete threads, we rather move them to our Trash archive were they serve as bad examples.
This is normally the case with spam, trolling or blatant advertising.
However, I could not find any thread, least post, of yours in there.
Seeing as our Mod staff board is rather small, it leaves only a handful of persons capable of deleting your post.
I know I haven't done it and I also know the others always give explanation to what they dislike in posts (handing out the first strike warning). Therefore, I consider it highly unlikely that it was not moved but deleted and also without comment.

You're treating in very thin ice here.
If there's one thing we hate (apart from seeing our work being used without showing so much of common courteousness as giving credit, least asking for permission) it's making false accusations, refutable claims and telling the untruth.

that is much better... Thanks!
but if the driver does not work then i am not convinced it is a good idea to add it (I'm confused)
long stories are not forbidden wink

We don't add untested drivers - for obvious reasons

Normally we will add the driver to a nightly and ask the user to test it... if this is not a possability then it will not be added.
(If nobody needs it OR if it does not work, then no sense in adding it wink)

Can you test this driver? or a test pack (nightly)?

That seems to be only the text mode driver... smile where is the windows driver?

Thanks for your kind words! Glad we have been able to help you!

If you have been around that long then you know we expect you to provide the HWIDs for the device and a link to a tested known good driver...

We don't find drivers for people, we never have, we simply add drivers when reported as missing.
Again, it is up to you to report your HWID for the device, and up to you provide a link to a tested known good driver.

Think: We can't possably find you a driver, since we don't have your hardware to test to see if it works. tongue big_smile
If you read the 'Rules and Posting GuideLines' you would discover that asking us to find you a driver is grounds for awarding a demerit wink lol.


Welcome to DriverPacks!


Let us know if you find that driver. (HWIDs and link provided in your post)

Have a great day and we're glad your here!

did you install sp3?

please read read before you post in my signature...

so setupreg.hiv is most versatile and works at text mode and is tested known good solution ... if that is correct then i think i got it!

Well your situation is slightly different... you have a registry.

With DriverPacks BASE we do not yet have a registry, It has not been created yet. So i can't add registry entries Directly. Since there is not one created yet. Registry entries can be added from txtsetup.sif but i am not sure exactly how to do that? the other method is to add them to   setupreg.hiv suggested by cdob. It would be easier for me to add to txtsetup.sif but again i am not exactly sure how that would be accomplished. Further I am uncertain if i need other entries too or just the one line.

You are at an advantage with sysprep since you can simply add the registry entries directly wink.

PS i have never understood what the difference was between BartPE and LiveXP / nativeEx? can you enlighten me?
Are they simply two different peoples attempt at creating a PE environment from XP?

The Code tags keep the thread from getting too long... and we know what we are looking for wink lol
