New winetricks 20080402: new verbs dotnet20, win2k, flash, msls31; updated mono, liberation

[Dan Kegel]

Big news: as of today or so, wine doesn't need any patches
to install the .net 2.0 runtime or run trivial .net 2.0 apps,
so I've added a dotnet20 verb.  No more futzing with recipes
to try out simple .net 2 apps, huzzah!

There are lots of other little changes, too:

20080402
r21  	Added dotnet20, removed one kludge from dotnet11, added win2k
verb, plus shorthand for winver=foo
r20 	Updated liberation fonts.

20080328
r19 	Added flash.

20080326
r18 	Fix i18n problem reported by Ricardo Cabral

20080321
r17 	Added msls31 (seems to be needed by e-Sword)

20080317
r16 	update mono12 to 1.2.9

...

As always, winetricks is downloadable from
http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
and change history is at

Thanks to the folks who keep feeding me improvements and suggestions!

wget usage in winetricks

[Hin-Tak Leung]

I'll say upfront that, *thank you* for wine tricks!

Recently I encounted an interesting issue - I have a .wgetrc which sets always construct directory, and always time stamps, etc. It is equivalent to the command line option:
"-x,  --force-directories        force creation of directories" - while it is my personal preference to always know where I have downloaded stuff from, the usage of wget in winestricks probably should explicitly specify 
"-nd, --no-directories           don't create directories" and maybe other options
to make sure that wget is downloading stuff to where you want it to.

I thought of unsetting WGETRC, or setting WGETRC to some unknown place so that user/site-admin preferences are not loaded, but that's dangerous, because proxies, etc
are also set in wgetrc and if winetricks unset wgetrc, connectivity can break. So explicitly do -nd or even -O seems more sensible...

I just had a need for this (dotnet20), and the dotnet installer crashed
like this on wine 1.1.0 on FreeBSD:
    Unhandled exception 0xc06d007e at address 0x7e255934 (thread 0073), starting debugger...
    err:seh:setup_exception_record nested exception on signal stack in thread 0074 eip 7e139a63 esp 0011b75c stack 0xbf8f1000-0xbf9ff000
(and there wine hung.)

I finally got things going by doing the same on wine 1.0 on debian sid
and then copying ~/.wine over - i.e. there dotnet20 worked.

Just thought I'd report this so ppl can at least try it on 1.1.0 on Linux
to see if the problem is FreeBSD specific...

Thanx,
    Juergen

You could open a bug report for that, but please attach the full backtrace 
you're getting. The lines you posted don't really help much.
