Yeah, not there :(
Sorry; uploaded to the wrong directory. Fixed now.
I'd say we have the best ABI stability, since we follow MS, and they typically don't break it. It's a lot more likely we'll break the server interface, there's no real reason not to, all calls to the server should be generated through the base DLLs, and _that_ interface is stable :)
Well, to me, ABI stability is whether or not a comctl32.dll.so from Wine 0.9.1 can be dropped in and 'just work' in a Wine 0.9.8 environment. More to the point, it's whether or not my winelib 'foo.dll.so' can be so dropped in. And my gut sense was that we were pretty close to that, but not certain. Am I wrong?
I guess we need to spell out what we need from other projects to better integrate Win32 apps with the rest of Linux. These things take time, and we need to bring them on their radar.
Any first cut items? I'm sure the x.org guys will be there in force, and I've always had the sense that they'd be happy to help us, if we just asked.
Also, if OSDL is willing to put some of their uber-kernel hackers on Desktop Linux, would be nice if we could come up with a spec on what needs to be done on the kernel side to speed up Wine. I know, this has been hashed out to death before, but I guess it would be interesting to probe and find out their willingness to help us out on the kernel side of things.
Yah.
Not to mention X, and OpenGL. What else?
Could someone (Lionel?) remind me of the bug # that contains the OpenGL request we have? So far, that's the one concrete request we seem to have, and I don't want to misrepresent it.
Thanks for the feedback; much appreciated.
Cheers,
Jeremy
