How should one report GitLab CI bugs?
by Francois Gouget 18 Jan '23

18 Jan '23

How should one report GitLab CI bugs? I'm thinking of two types of bugs. 1. Wine test bugs that specifically happen on the GitLab CI infrastructure. See for instance bug 54334 which describes a set of qasf:asfreader failures that has, so far, only been seen in the Linux GitLab CI. I'm thinking some Wine developers may be particularly interested in getting such bugs fixed and thus would want to have a way to find them. Would a 'gitlabci' or just 'ci' keyword be appropriate? 2. Bugs and missing features in the GitLab CI infrastructure itself. For instance the failures that gitlab-win10-21h2 gets in the ole32:clipboard, riched20:richole and user32:msg tests strongly suggest that the AMD driver was installed with its Adrenalin GUI. Since it is known to interfere with the clipboard this could be considered a bug in that Windows 10 VM configuration. (Alternatively one could argue the tests should be modified to be resistant to such interference which would move this issue to the first category.) Which product should one pick in Bugzilla for reporting such bugs? They would not fit in 'Wine' product or any of the other existing products except 'Wine-Testbot' if one considers the GitLab CI to be the new TestBot (though I think that would be quite confusing). -- Francois Gouget <fgouget(a)codeweavers.com>

FOSDEM 2023
by Henri Verbeet 09 Jan '23

09 Jan '23

This year FOSDEM will once again take place in Brussels, on February 4 and 5. The Wine project won't have an official presence at the conference this year, but a (modest) number of us do intend to visit Brussels during that time. Is anyone else already planning to attend this year? Like previous conferences, you'll be able to find most of us in the #wineconf:matrix.org Matrix room. Henri

HiDPI / Scaling window content
by Jordan Johnston 06 Jan '23

06 Jan '23

Hey all, I'm looking for some pointers on coming up with a hack to better support HiDPI with wine on my hi-res display (not something that would be submitted upstream. "hack" indeed)... As you are all probably aware; while you can adjust DPI in Winecfg, that only affects Windows UI elements ~ but It does not help with anything outside of that... I have some apps that are basically unusable with HiDPI and i've tried multiple solutions, to no avail. (and setting my resolution to 1440x900 isn't a viable solution either). I've been poking around dlls/winex11.drv and I'm wondering if anyone might have pointers on how some of the scale related stuff works? -- I'm wondering if it may be possible to hack the x11 code to multiply the scale of the window contents? (and perhaps, I can then wrap it in an env variable for use)... If anyone has any pointers, or if they think something like this could work -- I'd appreciate your insights (again, I'm just looking for kind of a one-off hack, not something upstream-able.. I'm sure HiDPI compatibility-mode will land upstream, at some point (Windows has this)). While I am familiar with some of Wine's internals - the graphics stack, window management / x11 code is somewhat alien to me. Alternatively, i suppose if someone is working on related code and has a git branch / patchwork available, I'd be open to try that out too. Thanks, and Happy New Year to you all! Jordan
