Being rude to users considered harmful
by Dan Kegel March 20, 2007

March 20, 2007

Now, I'm as much of a BOFH as anybody else. Maybe more. But when I see a Wine developer telling users things like "For me all VB apps have to go to /dev/null without exceptions!" or "It's a minor problem - leave with it or fix it yourself!" I feel quite sad. Can we agree to be a bit more civil with the people who file bugs in bugzilla? Thanks... - Dan

Menu builder fix found
by Tom Spear March 20, 2007

March 20, 2007

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7802 Basically all that should be done (and I dont know why this isnt done anyways) is to have wine (or more likely wineprefixcreate) make ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/(user)/Start\ Menu and ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/(user)/Start\ Menu/Programs .... Then also make winecfg _not_ default to creating ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/(user)/Desktop as a symlink to ~/Desktop.. This can be verified by starting with a clean .wine dir and clean ~/.wine/dosdevices/c: and running wineprefixcreate .. Then run winecfg and make sure to uncheck the Link to box for the Desktop shell folder in the Desktop Integration tab and apply the change. Then manually make ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/(user)/Start\ Menu and ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/(user)/Start\ Menu/Programs Then get the winrar installer and run it. Check all of the shortcut creation boxes after the install is finished. Then check the above mentioned folders. While I'm at it though I should mention that I have seen several installers fail if they can't find ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/system32 because for some reason wine doesn't create it either, not even as a symlink. -- Thanks Tom Check out this new 3D Instant Messenger called IMVU.

RSTs from winehq.org
by Juan Lang March 20, 2007

March 20, 2007

Anyone else getting lots of TCP resets from winehq.org since the maintenance? I don't see this at work - or, my connection there is too fast connection for them to appear - but at home, I have to have a great deal of patience to browse the site, as it takes repeated reloads to get a successful page load. Just curious if anyone else is similarly bedeviled. --Juan ____________________________________________________________________________________ Now that's room service!

Re: Moved detection of float texture formats higher up so they are checked before

By lack of a description in the patch, I'll assume it fails because it's checking with render target usage. If that's the case, you should fix that block, not move the float formats check up.

I'd say "Ask the directX maintainers what they suggest." Maybe they're happy with the way things are, or maybe they'll describe a different problem you can help with. - Dan

WineHQ maintainance

March 19, 2007

WineHQ will be offline starting at 13:00 CST. It could be offline for up to an hour, hopefully not longer. I will be replacing the system board at this time. All email will be queued at the backup MX during the downtime. -newman

appdb trouble?
by Dan Kegel March 19, 2007

March 19, 2007

I tried submitting a few real apps, with real test data, to the appdb recently, but they haven't shown up. For instance, haoi. (See http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7690) Does the appdb not like me? I'm flying blind because my email filters are a bit screwy, and automatic email from appdb to dank(a)kegel.com is dropped. (I've *got* to fix that sometime...) Thanks, Dan
