People please keep this dirty hacks outside of bugzilla. And do not turn it into a forum for clueless people about how to compile Wine!
Sorry, but I don't think that's the right thing to do. I agree with the help forum part. But disallowing 'hacks' is not really the right course If you ask me. People come here looking for progress and solutions for their problem. The real fix is still months (years?) away and you can't expect them to wait for that long. The hack is a temporary solution. Hacks get posted in other bugs every day. Hell, even Wine itself already contains a 'force' hack. force-box is simply the logical extension of that, and works well so far for many people. I don't see why it should be forbidden. Yes - it's no proper fix. The current Wine philospohy is not to adopt such things. I accept that. But for the sake of completeness, keep it in Bugzilla.
I know that you, Vitaliy, have far more experience on that matter than anybody else. I'm not doubting your authority on this. But I don't agree either.
