Bug ID: 48652 Summary: Use shared Gecko and Mono installs Product: Wine-Testbot Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: fgouget@codeweavers.com Distribution: ---
The TestBot currently uses the msi Gecko and Mono installers to prepare the WinePrefixes for the tests. Gecko and Mono now support a shared install mode which helps speed up the WinePrefix creation. Unlike their msi variant they may also come in unstripped variant which could help with debugging.
Faster WinePrefix creation could help the TestBot (see bug 48354) so it should support this shared install mode. Note that wt-daily already supports the new mode. https://github.com/fgouget/wt-daily
