Now we rely on winereg? is that correct (I should know this ;)
I've been making some steady progress today, managed to get CD auto detection working (from some freevo code) and I've added basic SAX parsing for package lists. I hope I can get a base shell working soon.
I would love it if people would get involved, a few good coders can have SVN/trac access I'll work on opening up to the public soon.
pygtk/pyxml/wine hackers/shell scripters very welcome.
Some clarification i need is on how wine executes applications.
AFAIK this is how it works.
wine runs the wineserver and wine-pthread and when the application exits cleanly wineserver goes too, otherwise winedbg starts. I have code waiting for wine exit (similar to winetools) which currently works but I'd like to make sure i'm on the right track ;)
I'd also like to know what is the best way to kill a wine process and when it should be killed (currently I'm waiting indefinitely for wine to exit, then waiting 5 minutes on the wineserver).
When is the best time to use wineboot? What purpose does it serve, what can it break.
