Justification for your statements, thorough explanation of your proposals and what exact behaviour they would entail, thorough explanations as to why the things you're proposing are in fact good ideas, and, frankly, complete sentences. Coming to bugzilla and posting a bunch of sentence fragments for things that look tailored to your own use cases is not a good way to request any change in Wine. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

Well, it kind of is, because otherwise your bugs will be ignored or closed as INVALID.
If you don't see bugs and performance issues with current Wine?..
I certainly have seen plenty of bugs, and bug reports, with Wine. It's not clear to me at all, however, how changing a non-default or even default output location for logs would change anything. Allow me to explain further: Currently, if Wine is run from the terminal, it will output messages to stderr (and thus, if stderr is not redirected, the terminal itself). This makes messages pretty much maximally visible to the user, at the expense of possibly overrunning the terminal buffer and discarding earlier output. If Wine is not run from the terminal, it will output no messages at all, which does in fact improve performance. What benefit could come from changing either of these to output to a specific, fixed file location, by default, or in addition? -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

R. Dierick <o.dierick(a)piezo-forte.be> --- Hello, (In reply to N from comment #10)
Bugs and performance issues are common and you need to "enable" them manually?
Wine has default output that doesn't need to be enabled. Non-default debugging channels must be enabled manually because they have an impact on performance that is undesirable for normal usage. Additionally to what Zebediah Figura said, writing in /var/log requires root permission by default on most systems. Wine MUST NOT run as root, so writing to /var/log would require setting up complex file access to work around it. That fill access setup operation itself requires administrative privileges so it would have to be performed externally anyway (manually or at the packaging level, which is outside the scope of Wine). That makes it impossible to support /var/log from inside Wine. Marking invalid. Regards. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

Hello, Steam and Lutris install their own customized version of Wine, wrapped in their specific tools. If you want to control how they store logs or suggest changes to that, you'll have to ask them about it. WineHQ.org doesn't provide support for other people's projects.

Lutris can work with system wine.
It's also a wine wrapper (i.e., it can handle logging in a generic way for vanilla wine, lutris, staging, etc.). -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
