[Bugzilla] and [AppDB] add ability to mark Wine versions as 'obsolete', 'supported' or 'current'
by Tony Lambregts Oct. 31, 2005

Oct. 31, 2005

This patch is meant to stimulate a discussion about how to deal with the fact we cannot reasonable support obsolete versions of wine ;^) For example we would like to be able to age Test Results and probably do not want submittions of test results or bugs that are from older versions of wine. On the other hand we should accept new bug reports from CVS and at least our current release. Since we cannot simply delete old versions in bugzilla I came up the following patch. To use this patch you need to run the following sql: use bugs; alter table versions add column status enum('obsolete','supported','current') NOT NULL default 'current'; change log: Add status ('obsolete','supported' or 'current') to versions table files changed: editversions.cgi Index: editversions.cgi =================================================================== RCS file: /home/wine/bugzilla/editversions.cgi,v retrieving revision 1.1.1.1 diff -u -r1.1.1.1 editversions.cgi --- editversions.cgi 1 Dec 2004 23:15:14 -0000 1.1.1.1 +++ editversions.cgi 29 Oct 2005 22:02:25 -0000 @@ -105,13 +105,28 @@ # Displays the form to edit a version # -sub EmitFormElements ($$) +sub EmitFormElements ($$$) { - my ($product, $version) = @_; + my ($product, $version, $status) = @_; + my @aStatus = ("obsolete","supported","current"); print " <TH ALIGN=\"right\">Version:</TH>\n"; print " <TD><INPUT SIZE=64 MAXLENGTH=64 NAME=\"version\" VALUE=\"" . value_quote($version) .

ermapper 7
by Paul Wise Oct. 31, 2005

Oct. 31, 2005

Hi all, Was trying to install ermapper 7 under wine (80 meg download): http://www.ermapper.com/download_files/ERMapper7.01CompactRC1.exe ermapper is a fairly well known and used gis (geographic information systems) application, which views and edits the popular ecw format for storing satellite data and other geographic raster data. In debian wine 0.9*, it installs fine with OS set to winxp, except for one thing: since it seems to use OLE/COM extensively, the main application object doesn't get registered during installation. *I split up debian's patch and put it here if anyone wants to look: http://bonedaddy.net/pabs3/files/tmp/wine-0.9/ During install I get this Message box 3 times: CoCreate instance failed for the ERM Object And I get these messages in the terminal: fixme:font:load_VDMX Failed to retrieve vTable fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:DllRegisterServer not implemented (olepro32.dll) fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:CoCreateInstance no classfactory created for CLSID {47d72ac6-6ef6-11d7-b912-0050dabaf658}, hres is 0x80004002 err:advapi:service_control_dispatcher failed to create pipe, error = 0 fixme:ole:CoCreateInstance no classfactory created for CLSID {47d72ac6-6ef6-11d7-b912-0050dabaf658}, hres is 0x80004002 err:advapi:service_control_dispatcher failed to create pipe, error = 0 fixme:ole:CoCreateInstance no classfactory created for CLSID {47d72ac6-6ef6-11d7-b912-0050dabaf658}, hres is 0x80004002 After it brokenly installed, I tried to run it and got this message box: ERROR in ERMAPPER registry entry. Please specify the BASE_PATH value in the key KHEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Earth Resource Mapping/ERMAPPER With these messages in the terminal: fixme:font:load_VDMX Failed to retrieve vTable fixme:font:load_VDMX Failed to retrieve vTable fixme:font:load_VDMX Failed to retrieve vTable fixme:font:load_VDMX Failed to retrieve vTable fixme:font:load_VDMX Failed to retrieve vTable fixme:font:load_VDMX Failed to retrieve vTable Then I used regedit, and found the following key with the correct BASE_PATH value in it.

It seems that having an object type field is redundant since we can uniquely identify an object by the address of its object_ops. -- Rob Shearman

tracking interprocess comms.

Oct. 31, 2005

Hi, I am trying to capture output that an app normally sends to other processes under windows operation. I know that in the case of major M$ apps this will be my ole but I believe that in the more general case this must be by simulating keystrokes I tried WINEDEBUG="+relay" but the output file filled the 1.7GB !! of free space I had before the app got as far at putting up the main window. could s.o. advice on a more suitable channel to watch. Many thanks.

Talkback versions of wine
by Chris Morgan Oct. 30, 2005

Oct. 30, 2005

A user sent this to the appdb mailing list. I thought the talkback idea was an interesting one that we might want to consider now that we are nearing 1.0. Chris ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: suggest Appdb Date: Thursday 27 October 2005 10:02 pm From: "Elektro Schock" <elektroschock(a)linuxmail.org> To: appdb(a)winehq.org "Email your suggestions for improving the AppDB" Well, 1. what I would like to see are Wine talkback versions a) terminal output + related app + wine version + other config b) delete dublicates c) automatical submission to a server d) add to app specific database if not dublicate Benefits: * Wine developers are able to determine what console output is generated when using the software * It is traceable what real applications will get improved when a certain FIXME is fixed and what applications depend on a bug. * app related bug reporting via automation * it is possible to limit reporting to certain apps e.g. gold and silver apps only or certain types of bugs and to set a time limit for the talkback feature, so you get no old version reports. * you can determine what applications were tried by users and whether problems still exist * bug reporting becomes easier. 2. Where do I find documentation about the different kinds of wine bugs reported at the console? err fixme Unexpected calls bugs invoking wine-dbg etc. When you run an application with you run into "bugs". But certainly there often is no strict severity. What are severe errors that need to get reported? What are just unimplemented features? I further assume that bugzilla FIXMEs are not the same as console output FIXMEs -- _______________________________________________ Check out the latest SMS services @ http://www.linuxmail.org This allows you to send and receive SMS through your mailbox.

Wine regression testing: PIT_
by Molle Bestefich Oct. 30, 2005

Oct. 30, 2005

Regression testing with Wine is a pain in the butthole. For very bad reasons: Stuff that is simple to fix, but haven't been. I'd like to help improve that situation. Example: ======== I want to find which patch ruins an application. The application, according to one note, worked in 2003. I decide to try and see how it really runs with the 2003 version of Wine mentioned in the note. I then spend several days pulling various releases, just trying to compile them. They all fail miserably, because some fix required to compile correctly with newer Linux versions is /missing/. For example, - any Wine before 2004-01-02 won't work because it won't compile against newer ALSA versions. - any Wine before 2003-12-01 needs patches to the build system before 'make depend' will even run. I've been at it for a week and I've managed to fix the above two. _They're really simple things, but they take a lot of time to figure out._ Currently I'm working with two other problems: - Wine fails to correctly invoke the debugger. Winedbg shows 'Usage: blah blah'. Seems 'wine' calls it with incorrect parameters. - Wine fails to start any application, complaining about 'kthreads' something or the other. I imagine that if I spend a few more weeks on the above problems, I can find patches in Wine CVS that fixes the exact problems I'm seeing. I've already wasted a week of my time on problems that someone else already fixed. Spending two or more weeks doing this is not exactly on my fun-things-to-do-before-I-die list. I'd like to see a general solution to this entire problem. What can be done to alleviate? ============================== Once I find a patch which makes an earlier version actually compile, I'd like to propose that for a backport. If approved/applied, the next person that checks out the release would check out a version containing the backported patches. That would fix the problem and allow people to do proper regression testing, so developers and QA people can spend their time doing development and QA instead of redoing already done effort trying to get an older version to run. I'm not sure how this would work with CVS. I'm from an SVN world where tagging is a 0-cost tree-copy operation, and any patches can be applied to the tag with history and all showing that the tag's been modified. If it can't work with CVS, perhaps the tags can be created in Troy's SVN repo and patches applied there? Not sure. Suggestions, please, people.
