[gentoo-user] Sharing of wine drives between different users of same machine
After an (in?)convenient crash of a particular operating system which I have dual-booted with Gentoo for a while; I am going to reinstall it. My main issue though, for that particular operating system is that the shared c_drive of different wine users was shared there, and it annoys me that certain games now need some reinstalling (fortunately, the save files are in a safe place). Well since I'm going to go and do something a bit tedious anyway, I might as well do it right. I was wondering what strategies you guys use for sharing wine drives between different users. I have 3 kids using the same box for games; wine was one of the main features of using that box. I have previously done some of the following: (1) Everyone's .wine -> c:\wine (ntfs drive) which makes some sense, but the bad thing is that usernames are preserved across users. (2) Everyone's c_drive -> c:\wine (ntfs drive) Which also makes some sense, but I wonder if registry issues that are user specific point to the wrong places. (3) Everyone's program files -> c:\wine (ntfs drive) Which does solve the issue of saving space; but the problem is that registry entries from installing programs don't get shared. What's the proper way to multi-seat wine to make it behave like a multi-user Windows environment?

Briefly the keyboard is handled as two USB devices. The keys that work are on the first device, the ones that don't on the second device. Following gentoo-wiki howtos it looks like you have to hack the kernel. At that point I simply reverted to using the "kbd" driver. Maybe some year evdev will mature...

I've never seen --deep cause fewer updates. What am I missing? I have EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps y" in make.conf, and I don't know what more info to post. Is Firefox in /var/lib/portage/world? If not, do you intend Firefox to be a dependency? The only "legitimate" behavior I see is that Firefox is a dependency for a package that is not part of your world. I think I see now what caused this. It happened after I added Fx 3.0.1 to package.keywords. `emerge -u world` was pulling in mozilla-firefox-3.0.1 because it was in world, but `emerge -uD world` was not pulling it in because I have installed packages which have mozilla-firefox-2* as a dependency. Now that I've installed mozilla-firefox-3.0.1, `emerge -uD world` wants to downgrade me to 2.0.0.16, and `emerge -u world` doesn't see anything to do. What's the package that wants to downgrade to firefox 2?
