defining and revamping our bugzilla categories

by Jan Zerebecki

I agree the wine- prefix should be removed. Currently we have quite some categories where I don't really know how they are defined, so the description should be enhanced so there is no confusion over what goes in them. Currently we have some categories that exactly fit to one dll and some categories that include multiple dlls that are related. Also there is overlap between those two. (And perhaps some that fit in neither.) E.g. there is wine-quartz (one dll dlls/quartz/ ) and wine-directx-dshow (includes dlls/{quartz,msdmo,qcap}/ ). The best is probably to have no overlap and have multi-dll/path categories contain the shell-glob of path/files that it contains. I think in some cases multi-dll categories are preferable to single-dlls ones. A even better example for this than dshow is wine-directx-d3d, where before the bug is fixed it might not be easily known if it is in d3d9 or wined3d and a bug might exist in the same way in more than one d3d version. >From previous discussions on irc I know some people want to have a radical one category per dll approach, please speak up now. What do you guys think? Jan PS: Sorry for the previous empty mail.

Possible corruption of program's data by Wine, and missing registry entries, and required files are the two biggest reasons. It's the same as one would attempt to run an application on windows via the network from another PC. Vitaliy.

I've been mulling this over for awhile and I'm potentially willing to write the WWN. I've been reading all of patches, devel, and bugs for about a year now, so I keep pretty up to date with what's going on. I'm a Senior at UIUC and my major is History, so I write quite often.

But it probably doesn't make sense to create a category for every dll we have. So let's just keep the ones we have for now, possibly without the wine- prefix.

While we are at it, could you please also remove "wine-" prefix from all the category names in bugzilla? It's useless and annoying. Ideally we just need to have the category names which just match wine/dlls/* directory names, and perhaps some meta categories as an addition. -- Dmitry.
