I just finished a git bisect to establish the cause of the git regression given by http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33715. My detailed report concerning the result of the bisect appears there, but I have an additional question concerning the git bisect process itself.
I pretty much follow the recommendations in http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting, but I like to completely remove my WINEPREFIX directory as the first step in my bisect test script to eliminate the possibility that some unclean cached result there is causing issues. But after a particular version of wine is built, that test script goes on to test it using wineconsole which has to populate WINEPREFIX itself (which is fine) since I removed it for a reason, but that step is accompanied by some popups concerning what I want to do about downloading mono (not available on Debian testing) and gecko (available on Debian testing, but I haven't figured out how to make the ./configure step of the wine build recognize that). I don't mind the popups, but I do mind having to answer the questions posed by them (say through the night) as the automated git bisect proceeds.
For the case where wineconsole populates the WINEPREFIX directory for the first time, is there a way to configure wine or run wineconsole so those popups that require me answering a question can be eliminated?
You could download the recent gecko and mono files and place them in the appropriate places as described in http://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko Or you create a wineprefix after you removed it, but without a valid display set: DISPLAY=none wine wineboot
