Winetools Debian Package!
by Scott Ritchie Feb. 2, 2005

Feb. 2, 2005

Ok, I finished up the winetools Debian packages. It's on the same repository as the Wine packages at winehq, so you should be able to install it easily from there. To run it simply type "winetools" or use the (hopefully created) menu entry. One day I hope to have a man page and such, but for now it seems good. Thanks, Scott Ritchie

You want to remove three and that would leave 6 slots. The first page would have 6 screen shots, second page would also have 6 shots but it would skip shot 7 so where on screen shot 13 now. Third page would have 2 shots as it would skip a shot as well. Now you have 4 non- existant screenshots... What need to is make it work with 16 shots and not skip a shot... To remove the 404 is correct ofcourse. Tom

Software Freedom Law Center
by Jeremy White Feb. 2, 2005

Feb. 2, 2005

Hi Folks, There is an exciting announcement out today: http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS7711938137.html Essentially, OSDL has funded a community oriented pro-bono legal service for Free and Open Source Software Projects. The Center is led by Eben Moglen, the chief counsel for the FSF. I've been speaking privately with Eben Moglen about this new effort, and he tells me that they would like to have the Wine Project as one if their very first clients. Candidly, this seems fantastic to me; one of the difficult things that I face when promoting Wine is peoples Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt about the legality of Wine. Having an opportunity to clarify these legal issues is probably the most important thing that could happen for Wine, in my opinion (well, okay, maybe it's less important than support for Pirates! <grin>). However, before I go off to request the services of the SFLC, I thought I would post this announcement here and open it for any discussion. I'd particularly like to hear if folks can think of any reasons why this might be a bad thing. Finally, the key objectives from my standpoint are as follows: 1. Get an opinion written on Wine and copyright issues (imho, we have no IP issues here) 2. Get some legal research done on Patent issues I don't know how this will turn out, so I think we should wait for the research. 3. Investigate the legal doctrine surrounding what use a monopoly can make of its patents; I know that US antitrust law provides some restraints, but it would be great to have a legal opinion on the matter. Thoughts? Comments? Cheers, Jeremy

Yeah. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they're secretly a little supportive of Crossover (maybe less so for winehq): they _still_ get their Office revenue, but none of the support costs. If Linux ever got big enough on the desktop that they could make similar margins as they make on MacOS with Office, you can bet they'd make such a beast. But the support costs (for the desktop) are too high, and the revenue too low. The fact that you guys (codeweavers) can do it just shows a) you're not spending a small nation's GDP on marketing, and b) you're a whole lot smarter :) --Juan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: MSI: partially implement of AppSearch action
by Aric Stewart Feb. 2, 2005

Feb. 2, 2005

Hi Juan, YAY! someone else doing action work.. However there are a few problems i want to point out so you can review your code and check. I have attached a patch i quickly made to avoid some problems i was having. But what you will want to look over and figure out is a) if the action returns anything other than ERROR_SUCCESS the install will halt at that action returning that error. So you need to make sure that you only return errors that should fully halt the install. b) Watch out for null fields. load_dynamic_stringW will return a NULL pointer for those but MSI_RecordGetInteger returns a special value. oh and i fixed that looks like a copy and paste error. -aric Juan Lang wrote: > ChangeLog: partially implement AppSearch action > > --Juan > > Index: appsearch.c =================================================================== RCS file: /cvstrees/crossover/office/wine/dlls/msi/appsearch.c,v retrieving revision 1.1.1.1 diff -u -r1.1.1.1 appsearch.c --- appsearch.c 1 Feb 2005 14:29:10 -0000 1.1.1.1 +++ appsearch.c 2 Feb 2005 02:44:15 -0000 @@ -127,7 +127,7 @@ maxVersion = load_dynamic_stringW(row,4); if (maxVersion) { - ACTION_VerStrToInteger(minVersion, &sig->MaxVersionMS, + ACTION_VerStrToInteger(maxVersion, &sig->MaxVersionMS, &sig->MaxVersionLS); HeapFree(GetProcessHeap(), 0, maxVersion); } @@ -610,6 +610,9 @@ } else rc = ERROR_OUTOFMEMORY; + + if (rc != ERROR_OUTOFMEMORY ) + rc = ERROR_SUCCESS; return rc; } @@ -689,7 +692,10 @@ ERR("Error is %x\n",rc); goto end; } - depth = MSI_RecordGetInteger(row,4); + if (MSI_RecordIsNull(row,4)) + depth = 0; + else + depth = MSI_RecordGetInteger(row,4); ACTION_ExpandAnyPath(package, buffer, expanded, sizeof(expanded) / sizeof(expanded[0])); if (sig->File)

Re: MAPI32.dll.so - how to use in linux programs?
by Jon Griffiths Feb. 1, 2005

Feb. 1, 2005

Hi Luke, >i noticed that Wine has a mapi32.dll.so. The current MAPI code is very, very far from complete. I have been implementing it in a bottom up manner (i.e. starting with the lower level/utility functions and working up toward constructing the higher order functions/objects). For example, there is no table support at present (I have an IMAPITable implemenation of sorts, but its not ready to be committed yet, pending cleanup, tests and thread safety checks). Providing the message stores etc must then be built on top of these objects. I believe Crossover Office runs MS Outlook so you may have more success using the native dlls at this moment in time. For the functions that are complete there is documentation in the source: "make htmlpages" from the base Wine dir will format these into readable html starting at documentation/html/index.html. >the test program relies on a test loader program, so i can't find a >"int main (char *argv[], int argc)" anywhere nor is it obvious >what's going on. Assuming you are referring to dlls/mapi32/tests/, the test framework is integrated to allow the tests to share common code and for multiple tests to be run from one place. The start_test() macro defined a test name which is then linked into the main mapi32_test.exe.so and available by running the test with that name as a parameter (see include/wine/test.h for the common code that supports this). Note that these tests don't yet test anything to do with mail per se, they are more concerned with ensuring the various low level functions in the dll are correct. If your tests will rely on an exchange server being present it is unlikely that you will be able to put them in the main wine tree, so a stand alone program is likely the best solution. As for sample programs, a quick google for "mapi sample program" and you will get a bunch of links, including some freely downloadable MS samples. I personally am doing my current testing directly against the native (XP) dll itself, it being too early at this point to attempt to get any 'real' programs running with the code. I have a fair amount of not yet submitted stuff for this dll; if you think it will help I could clean it up and pass it on for your perusal. Also if you create/discover anything that you think may be helpful to implementing parts of this dll (and you are free to distribute it), please feel free to send it to me.
