GSoC-2011: Implement Missing Mesh Functions in Wine’s D3DX9
by Michael Mc Donnell Aug. 25, 2011

Aug. 25, 2011

Dear Wine developers, I would like implement some of the missing mesh functions in Wine's D3DX9 for Google Summer of Code 2011. I would like to implement the following functions: - CloneMesh - CloneMeshFVF - ConvertPointRepsToAdjacency - ConvertAdjacencyToPointReps - GenerateAdjacency They seem to be suitable in size to implement during a summer, and I have a good idea of how to implement them. I expect to first implement tests and then implement the functions. I am a masters student at the Technical University of Denmark nearing the end of my studies, and I have specialized in 3D computer graphics, studying both real-time and physically based techniques, as well as how to use existing 3D modeling tools to create animations. The mesh functions should be fairly straight forward for me to implement as I have recently taken an advanced course on geometry processing which involved a lot of mesh manipulation. I have, furthermore, already tests (for a shell32 function) in the wine test suite so I have some knowledge of Wine development. Roderick Coldenbrander is listed as a possible mentor for "Direct3D - Implement missing D3D9_xx DLLs" on the wiki. Are you still interested, or would someone else like to be a mentor? Regards, Michael Mc Donnell

gsoc mentor summit

Hi, The gsoc mentor summit organizing is getting started. Do any fellow mentors want to travel there? http://gsoc-wiki.osuosl.org/index.php/2011 Stefan PS: I vaguely remember that we once had a separate mailing list for gsoc stuff like that, but I can't find it, only Dan Kegel's old wine-gsoc-2007 list.

Listed package maintainers
by Ben Klein Aug. 17, 2011

Aug. 17, 2011

Hello everyone, For those of you who remember all the trouble I've had with my health, I'm on the mend now. I'm adjusting to some new medication that's doing wonders, and also adjusting to the new lifestyle they allow me to lead. I've just had a look at http://www.winehq.org/download, as I'm well out-of-date with Wine, and I see Maurilio and I are still listed as being the maintainers for the Debian packages, even though Kai Wasserbäch has taken over that duty (and thank you Kai for doing so!) I also notice the pages have been renamed (so instead of deb = ubuntu, ubuntu and debian are named correctly and unambiguously). I would like to voice my approval as former maintainer of the Debian packages, as token as that may seem at this stage. Kind regards, Ben

Wine Gecko 1.3-beta1
by Jacek Caban Aug. 14, 2011

Aug. 14, 2011

Hi all, I've just uploaded a new Wine Gecko beta package. It's a bit earlier than we usually updated the package, but it's part of the plan. The last release was the most successful ever - we've successfully avoided regressions and fixed existing bugs. The fact that we had long (over month) beta period and that the release was made based on stable Firefox release helped a lot IMO. We can improve stability of Gecko package by releasing more often, meaning less changes are included in each single release. We can do this thanks to Mozilla rapid release cycles, that gives us a chance to release Wine Gecko based on the very recent code base, stabilized by Mozilla every six weeks. Six weeks releases are, however, more than we can handle and more than we need, so my current plan is to release every two Firerox version (that is every 12 weeks), with no pressure. Back to current release, it's mostly an update of code base to keep on track with Gecko changes. Builds are available, as usually, on sourceforge [1]. To test it, you also need the attached patch to Wine. Any help with testing is appreciated. Everything that uses MSHTML in any way is worth testing. Informations for packages interested in building the package themselves: My builds are done with GCC 4.5.3, but any GCC newer than 4.5.1 should be good. There was a fix to Mozilla code needed for GCC 4.6.* builds that I've included in the source, so GCC 4.6 32-bit builds should be fine. If you want to use it for 64-bit builds, please test it carefully as I wasn't able to test them (linking GCC 4.6 builds consumes awfully lot of memory, so it failed for me). Cheers, Jacek [1] http://sourceforge.net/projects/wine/files/Wine%20Gecko/1.3-beta1/

bugzilla: merge OS X/Windows OS versions
by Austin English Aug. 8, 2011

Aug. 8, 2011

This was mentioned a while back, though I can't find the reference on wine-devel, perhaps it was in #winehackers... Anyway, would anyone be opposed to merging the Mac OS X versions (and possibly the Windows versions) in the OS field in Bugzilla? We don't differentiate any other OS, and for Windows, there are very few bugs filed anyway (mostly against the test suite or building on cygwin). So, instead of: Windows 3.1 Windows 95 Windows 98 Windows ME Windows 2000 Windows NT Windows XP Windows Vista Mac OS X 10.2 Mac OS X 10.3 Mac OS X 10.4 Mac OS X 10.5 Mac OS X 10.6 We'd have: Windows (All versions) Mac OS X I meant to do this a while ago, but forgot, and http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27930 reminded me -- -Austin

re: make "bisected" a keyword in bugzilla?
by Dan Kegel Aug. 8, 2011

Aug. 8, 2011

I think it's a good idea. 'regression' isn't as strong as 'bisected'. Unless there are objections, I'll add the keyword on Monday.

Lucas asked: > Should I correct the tabs and align the > parameters in the function prototype when I implement them? If you do a significant rewrite of a function, or are implementing it for the first time, I think it's ok to use more standard code style in your new code, or to update the style of adjacent old code (like a prototype) related to your change.

NtQuerySystemInformation needs a little bit more flesh for SystemProcessorPerformanceInformation
by Paul Vriens Aug. 1, 2011

Aug. 1, 2011

Hi, I was trying out the latest SysInternals Process Explorer and it struck me that the overall CPU % stayed at 0. Adding some values to the sppi structure fixed this but I'm just wondering what values to use: sppi[cpus-1].Reserved1[0].QuadPart = (ULONGLONG)remainder[0] * 10000000 / clk_tck; This Reserved1[0] is the DPC Time but I'm wondering what values from /proc/stat to use here (remainder[0] is I/O wait). We could always make up something of course but being accurate would be nicer. -- Cheers, Paul.
