Does Wine benefit from libtiff5 over libtiff4?

by Scott Ritchie

I'm trying to manage building for 3 different Ubuntu releases now for our 1.5 releases, and the main delta between them is libtiff 12.04: libtiff4 available 12.10: libtiff4 and libtiff 5 available 13.04: libtiff4 and libtiff 5 available It's much simpler if I can build on 12.04 and copy the binary packages, however this means I can't use libtiff5 if I do so. Is there any benefit in doing a separate build just for this? *note that in 12.10/13.04 official archive we build seperately and just use libtiff5. Thanks, Scott Ritchie

Will FOSDEM manage this for us or do we need to send our own filmy person? I nominate Jeremy to investigate, we really should have this filmed.

Also, you should be able to upgrade it to 10.6. My main reason for using it is to test the Mac builds before pushing commits, so not being able to build the Mac driver on it is a serious problem (and no, it can't be upgraded apparently). -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

I'm not ready to throw away my Mac Mini just yet... Funny, I had been under the impression that you were ready to throw it away even before you got it. ;) It will presumably still work with the X11 driver. Also, you should be able to upgrade it to 10.6. Making the Mac driver compatible with 10.5 is not going to be easy. The window style mask thing was just one example of missing Cocoa features. There are others. There's a separate class of Cocoa APIs for which there are pre-10.6 equivalents, but I wrote the Mac driver assuming 10.6 and so I'd have to rewrite large chunks of it. (And the 10.5-compatible code would be significantly less pleasant to work with.) It would also be hard for me to test compatibility with 10.5 since I'm running 10.6. -Ken

Reviewing what 'other' FOSDEM devroom guys have done, I see that I failed to establish a deadline for the CFP. So let me hereby arbitrarily pick December 31, 2012. Please get your proposals in no later than then; we'll then cull through the suggestions and set the agenda. I will likely add a section for breakouts or general discussion as well. Cheers, Jeremy
