Yeah, not there :(
Wine Project History Founded 1993 Single Maintainer 797 Contributors over Lifetime, ~40 active Alpha Software, limited functionality, through 2005 First Beta (0.9) released October 2005 Many things work Server interface stable Some ABI stability
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 :)
Associations With Other Desktop Organizations Wine is a power user of the kernel, glibc, and x.org Have very specific needs around memory, threading, and display control We break X more than any other app I know We get no respect exec shield, glibc threading changes, feels like a constant arms race; be nice if we could be more involved, given time to respond Also touch: OpenGL, ALSA/Jack/ESD/Arts/OSS Hurray for Freedesktop.org Menu Specifications Xembed Protocol
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.
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.
Not to mention X, and OpenGL. What else?
