Hi all,
My today patch [1] together with changes in Wine code from yesterday changed the way we interact with SourceForge for downloading Gecko. It's a risky change that could use wider testing from different locations. If you'd like to help, you need to:
- Remove wine_gecko-2.36*.msi if you already have it. If you used
downloader to get it, it's most likely in ~/.cache/wine. If you downloaded it manually, you know where to find it.
- Create new wineprefix
The most important thing is to ensure that downloading and installing Gecko still works. The expected difference is shorter connection time and faster downloads (or better said, no slow downloads).
I appreciate any feedback on this.
Thanks, Jacek
Hi Jacek,
I've tested a bit with wine-1.7.35 and git, I haven't experienced any issues with the new downloader. I didn't notice any extremely slow downloads/starts, but I didn't attempt to time it. Thanks for the improvements.
