Bug #: 34282 Summary: AppDB App for Wine Product: WineHQ Apps Database Version: unspecified Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: appdb-unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: shatteredlites@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified
Ok It just came to mind that there should be a app for wine that keeps track of the AppDB and its games and this is my Idea and what it could do...
When wine is running you will be asked whether or not to send info as in- game logs and debug info and system info without compromising privacy that is. and while this app runs it would do a search in AppDB on what game you're using and what settings are recommended for it as well as patches for it and so on. The info that is being sent while ingame can be monitored by the game maintainer in Appdb to check for bugs or regressions.
what do yall think and how would I go about asking for an enhancement like this?
EXTRA INFO
Requirements To Work -AppDB Game Needs A Maintainer -AppDB Games Need Constant Watch To Keep Track Of Regressions & Bugs
Pros & Cons Pro- Games Will Automatically Apply Fixes When Needed Pro- Bugs Could Automatically Be Sent To Bugzilla With Info Already In Report Pro- Less Hassle For Devs & Users
Con- More Dedicated Devs Needed To Keep DB In Order Con- A New Project That Will Take Time Con- WineHQ Will Go Through Changes In Order To Work With Program

--- Comment #1 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com 2013-08-18 16:05:05 CDT --- It's been discussed on wine-devel before. The short answer is, it's an interesting idea, but unless someone wants to spend the time to write such a tool, it's not going to happen. Developer time is better spent fixing actual bugs.
There's also the additional resource load, etc. that would have to be handled..
