vkd3d question

[Fabian Maurer]

Hello wine-devel,

I'm curious as to why  you decided to put vkd3d into a separate repo
instead of the main wine repo. After all and AFAIK, it's the first dlls to get
such a special treatment. How comes?

I was wondering for a while now, and I've probably just missed it, mind
giving me a short explanation or link to one?

Regards,
Fabian Maurer

Fwiw, both wine-gecko and wine-mono are separate repositories, this isn't
new territory.

The idea is that you can use it to port a d3d12 game to Linux without
depending on the rest of Wine, see e.g.
https://repo.or.cz/vkmodelviewer.git .

Yeah, pretty much this.
