Summary: duplicate Distributions in AppDB Product: WineHQ Apps Database Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: appdb-unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: nerv@dawncrow.de
There are much duplicate Distributions in the AppDB like "Ubuntu 8.10 32-bit Desktop Edition" or "Xubuntu 8.10 Desktop i386" instead of "Ubuntu 8.10 "Intrepid" (+ variants like Kubuntu)" Daniel Devine said on IRC: "Yeah, I think there needs to be an interface that makes it hard for people to go spawning varios names for the same distro/release." And i agree

--- Comment #1 from Rosanne DiMesio dimesio@earthlink.net 2009-05-25 10:32:35 --- We also need a way for admins to clean up the mess that's already there. There is currently no way for an admin to add/edit/delete distributions.

--- Comment #2 from Ken Sharp kennybobs@o2.co.uk 2009-05-25 10:52:26 --- There is a way, I have cleaned up all the Ubuntu entries so they now follow a similar form.
1. Select "View distributions" http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=distribution&sTitle=Vie... 2. Select a distribution (don't click on Edit), and select "Move child objects". 3. Select the distribution it should be merged with.
All test results are modified and the offending entry is deleted. Works nice.
Admins/maintainers can change the chosen distribution of a test result while it is in the queue, before accepting it.
I'd say this was fixed, but I'll leave that decision up to someone else. ;-)

You're right. Not very intuitive, but it's there. Thanks for pointing that out. (I really should have a second cup of coffee before posting.)

True, but obviously some admins/maintainers have been letting these duplicates through, or they wouldn't have made it to the list in the first place.
I'd say this was fixed, but I'll leave that decision up to someone else. ;-)
We should probably take a look at all the distros on the list; I know openSUSE, at least, has a similar problem, and others might as well.

--- Comment #4 from Ken Sharp kennybobs@o2.co.uk 2009-05-25 12:37:11 --- All very true. I've cleaned up openSUSE, but as Rosanne has said, there will be a lot more, so it's an ongoing task...
At the moment, we have one entry for each processor. Maybe there could be a way to have a single distribution and the user could pick his/her own processor? It's just a thought, it might not be worth it, I don't know how many processors Windows has been ported to over time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Windows_versions#NT_Kernel-based I count 7 on Wikipedia.

--- Comment #5 from Ken Sharp kennybobs@o2.co.uk 2009-05-25 14:57:14 --- Merged about 60 duplicates. I don't know enough about each distribution to know whether minor versions should be merged too, in most cases I would assume so, so the list can probably be reduced further.

Setting to resolved unless someone can think of a reason why not...
