I believe I can now answer my own question, having dug into it a bit. The invocation above is for *local* branches, branches in the local checkout. To remove a *remote* branch, for example where a merge request was not accepted or was "bad" for some reason, we need to use `git push` instead of `git branch`: % git push origin --delete dll_soinit.c-stddef.h I plan on adding this to the Wiki in a few days. Any suggestions/concerns? Gerald

git pull --rebase upstream ?
by Gerald Pfeifer 16 Dec '22

16 Dec '22

These days I find myself spending more time wrestling with Git/Gitlab than it takes me to create and test a patch. So I am keenly interested to help improve https://wiki.winehq.org/Git_Wine_Tutorial#Creating_a_fork_on_Gitlab :-) Here is the first item: I ran # git clone git@gitlab.winehq.org:gerald/wine.git # git remote add upstream https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine.git followed by # git pull --rebase upstream following https://wiki.winehq.org/Git_Wine_Tutorial#Creating_a_fork_on_Gitlab And there is where the instructions fail as follows: # git pull --rebase upstream From https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine * [new branch] master -> upstream/master * [new branch] oldstable -> upstream/oldstable * [new branch] stable -> upstream/stable You asked to pull from the remote 'upstream', but did not specify a branch. Because this is not the default configured remote for your current branch, you must specify a branch on the command line. It appears the invocation should be shown as # git pull --rebase upstream master instead? Gerald PS: I'd volunteer to update the Wiki accordingly if confirmed, alas my wiki.winehq.org account (GeraldPfeifer) does not appear to exist any longer? And creating a new one is not possible?

Wayland driver - December 2022 update
by Alexandros Frantzis 16 Dec '22

16 Dec '22

Hi everyone! It's been some time since our last Wayland driver update ([1]), and, with the year coming to an end, I wanted to share information about the progress we made this year and discuss future steps. The focus in 2022 was on maturing the Wayland driver and keeping up to date with the Wine upstream internal changes. This involved, among other things, splitting the driver into a PE and Unix part, updating it for the latest internal driver APIs, and making preparations to support WoW64 (we are not there yet, but we are close). A significant improvement compared to last year is support for cross-process rendering, which is required by Chromium/CEF applications. Last year the driver was able to run Chrome with the "--in-process" command-line option. This year Chrome is supported without any special flags, fully GPU accelerated on both OpenGL and Vulkan! This was achieved by implementing what is effectively an internal off-screen swapchain in the driver's OpenGL and Vulkan integration code, along with a mechanism to send buffers to other processes for presentation when needed. This update also brings enhanced support for the linux-dmabuf v4 Wayland protocol (aka dmabuf-feedback), which allows compositors to dynamically send information about optimal formats and modifiers, e.g., depending on the surface presentation mode (fullscreen vs windowed). Our new internal OpenGL swapchain can handle such feedback directly, while for Vulkan we rely on the Wayland WSI to provide this functionality. This year we also made a lot of smaller scale fixes and enhancements, that in aggregate have greatly improved driver stability. These were a result of both testing we performed ourselves, and also of reports from people trying out the Wayland driver, for which we are very grateful. All the features listed in our previous update (multi-monitor, display mode changes, copy-paste, keymaps, relative mouse etc) have been further refined. One issue for which we haven't yet found a reasonable solution, is how to properly position the context/right-click menu in the standalone systray. The Wayland driver uses the Wayland protocol in a manner that, although in spec, exercises less well-trodden paths in compositor code. Throughout the year we have come across a few issues with compositors, which we have been working with upstreams to address. One issue that people should be aware of, in particular, manifests as improper relative mouse motion in first-person 3D games when using the Wayland driver with some compositors (e.g., see [2]). TL;DR of how to use the development branch: $ git clone -b wayland https://gitlab.collabora.com/alf/wine/ $ cd wine $ ./configure --with-wayland [--with-vulkan] $ make [-jN] $ DISPLAY= WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 ./wine ... Especially note the use of 'DISPLAY=', which we use to opt in to the Wayland driver by disabling the higher priority X11 driver. Here is a video showing the latest version of the Wayland driver in action (note that in this video I am using Mutter from git main that includes the fix for the relative motion issues mentioned above): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZ-MK72Kyp8 --- Next steps: Last year, due to the extensive ongoing internal rework in Wine (e.g., win32u), the decision was made to postpone the upstreaming of the Wayland driver until some amount of internal stability had been reached. My impression is that things are a lot more stable now, from the drivers' point of view at least. Is there any upcoming work that people feel would be severely hindered by the upstreaming of the Wayland driver? Ideally, I would like to start the upstreaming effort (which I expect will take some time) at some point early next year, after the codebase has been unfrozen. Does this sound reasonable? Thanks, Alexandros [1] https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2021-December/203035.html [2] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2223

Why is vkd3d an extra projekt?
by Fabian Maurer 13 Dec '22

13 Dec '22

Hello, For a while now I'm curious, so I have to ask: Why is vkd3d an extra project? Is that because it is reusable as standalone library? Just curious, because it's the only library in Wine that is a separate project. Wouldn't it have made sense to develop it as part of Wine to reuse the wine infrastructure and always have the most recent code for dx12/shaders? Regards, Fabian Maurer

What does the "Override" button do in joy.cpl?
by Alex Henrie 13 Dec '22

13 Dec '22

While looking at the new messages to translate for Wine 8.0, I noticed several like this: "No user detected on slot #0, make sure your gamepad is plugged in, and not overriden for DInput in the Joysticks tab." Leaving aside the misspelling of "overridden" in English, I want to make sure that I translate this text intelligibly into Catalan. I assume that the message is related to the "Override" button in joy.cpl. What exactly does that button do? -Alex

Regarding Coverity
by Fabian Maurer 12 Dec '22

12 Dec '22

Hello, I'm sometimes working through the issues Coverity scan reported, and I come across a lot of issues that I consider false positives. I however am not 100% comfortable marking them as such, just in case I am wrong... What's the policy on that? Are those getting reviewed by other devs? Should I just mark them as false positives if I think they are? Regards, Fabian Maurer

Code freeze plans
by Alexandre Julliard 12 Dec '22

12 Dec '22

Folks, As you know, we are now in code freeze towards 8.0. This means that only reasonably small, targeted bug fixes can be accepted. As far as possible, please mention the bug number that the fix is for. We currently have 242 open regressions (cf. https://source.winehq.org/regressions) I'm hoping that we can release 8.0 with fewer open regressions than 7.0, which means we have to bring that number down to 150. All help is welcome! Fixes to the tests can always be accepted since they can't break apps, so this is also a good opportunity to fix some long-standing failures. The rc releases will be a bit more spread out than usual, because I'll be out during the Christmas break. My plan is to have rc2 on December 21, rc3 on January 6, and then resume weekly rc releases, with a final 8.0 towards the end of January. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Wine Source build on native wchar_t 4 bytes
by Mahin Pandya 05 Dec '22

05 Dec '22

Hello All, We are trying to build Wine Source on Linux with native wchar_t size 4 bytes (instead of 2 bytes), is there any way it can be done? I started with doing following changes: diff --git a/tools/winapi/winapi_test b/tools/winapi/winapi_test index b9628e8..91daac3 100644 --- a/tools/winapi/winapi_test +++ b/tools/winapi/winapi_test @@ -206,7 +206,11 @@ sub _find_align_kind_size($) { $align = 2; $kind = "signed"; $size = 2; - } elsif (/^(?:char16_t|wchar_t|USHORT|WCHAR|WORD)$/) { + } elsif (/^(?:wchar_t|WCHAR)$/) { + $align = 4; + $kind = "unsigned"; + $size = 4; + } elsif (/^(?:char16_t|USHORT|WORD|WCHAR_nt)$/) { $align = 2; $kind = "unsigned"; $size = 2; Also started changing some of headers e.g. winnt.h - removed "typedef unsigned short WCHAR;" Any pointers/suggestion are welcome. Thanking you. regards, Mahin
