Dear Colleagues,
As Scott Ritchie knows, I'm at the moment the reponsible person for
Wine on Ubuntu.
I hope that you all know, Ubuntu has a new system for filing
crash reports and stacktraces. (named apport aka automatic crash
reports, some documentation is found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport)
Those reports are working quite well for all apps in Ubuntu, but not as
expected for Wine, especially when windows apps are involved.
We discussed yesterday about this problem, and now we want your help,
to make things better.
What we need from you:
- What do you need from us (Ubuntu) to get better backtraces
when wine crashes (especially wine-preloader)
- How can we work together in a better way? (e.g.
crashreport will be filed in launchpad (http://www.launchpad.net)
automatically, can we file a bugreport automatically in your
bugzilla?)
- If yes, what information do you really need, what can we tell
the users, who are reporting those crashes, what they have to do to
fullfill your needs for the bugreport and debugging (e.g. try to
reproduce the crash while running wine in gbd, doing a backtrace with
bt full, or what so ever)
Finally, we would like to have more involvement of you, Wine
Developers, to make Wine a vital piece of software for Ubuntu.
And now a little call for help to Scott Ritchie :)
Scott, we talked some time ago about having you in our MOTU team, for
maintaining not only debian/ubuntu packages at winehq, but also for
Ubuntu.
We, the Ubuntu MOTU team, and I personally think, this would be quite
good having you on board.
I know, that you are working hard on your packages, and we need your
help. If you want, please get in touch with me (email:
sh@sourcecode,de or jabber JID:sh@linux-server.org) and let's discuss
how we can get you easily in our MOTU team.
Thanks for your attention,
Stephan aka \sh @ freenode.net

While testing another "feature", I did a gmake uninstall and noticed that my
man pages were still in /opt/wine/share/man/man1. Has anyone noticed this regression?

I added the "Local Time" info for the IRC Nick Table in the wiki.
It's easier to find a usable Time, when you want to meet someone on IRC.
Please update ...
Thanks

Can anyone point me in the correct direction for this?
On one machine the text displays correctly.
On the other the characters are totally wrong
If I install the arial32.exe then the characters are displayed correctly
and attractively
If I remove the sserife.fon (and the arial fonts) then the characters
are displayed correctly but unattractively, something like a courier
font or similar.
Both machines are using freetype-2.1.9-5
The first also includes freetype-devel but presumably that doesn't
matter.
How do I figure out why the characters are being drawn incorrectly?
(Installing the arial32 is not a long-term solution)

Why are you the one submitting this then, using a private mail

Oops, here it is lol.

If you send a series of patches it recommended to mark the numbers in the mail
headers too, like "[1/12] Header file for D3DRM". This makes it easier to
find the next patch
Submitting for approval to here before I send to wine-patches
This pretty much changes most of the functions in the uninstaller to
handle arrays so that we can actually handle scanning HKCU as well as
HKLM.
In my tests, this did not break anything, and allows entries listed in
uninstall for both HKLM and HKCU to be seen, as well as allowing them
to be uninstalled. This version of the patch does not duplicate code,
like the old one did, and causes no additional warnings when
compiling.
Comments, questions, feel free.

Please post messages in the relevant bug, not to the list or to a list archive.

The bugs should definitely go to launchpad, because
each distribution has a different set of packages and
bugs, each distribution's crash logger should go to
its own bug tracker. winehq's bugzilla should be
treated as an upstream bug tracker, and only manually
triaged and distilled versions of the automated bug reports
should go upstream.
BTW the apport doc is at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport
and it would be great if some systemy sort of
guy had a look. I'll see if I can find somebody to...
I would myself, but I can't type enough to get any real work
done these days.
