Re: Wine 2.0

The reason is purely marketing: an x.0 number will attract more press. Last major release was 1.0. It seems fitting to have the next major release be 2.0. Besides, is there any reason to have multiple levels of major releases? I somehow doubt that a 2.0 can ever be justified if regular major releases use 1.x. You got to be joking... how long did it take to get to version 1? Wines version bump for stable is like Firefox going from version 3.0 to 3.5, more of the same but better. Two years of work and going up by two numbers, that sounds and feels right to me. The press is not going to buy us (read the people who have worked on Wine) jumping from Wine 1 to Wine 2 in 2 years. By the way Lazarus had the same thing about going from 0.9.28 to 1.0.0, it got turned down. It looks like you have some time on your hands, give this a read http://www.pcworld.com/article/82606/linux_users_ready_to_toast_wine.html I will vote for Wine jumping to version 2 when it gets 128bit support (yes 128bit not 64bit).

Re: [Wine] The pros and cons of a wiki AppDB

If you open it up to everyone to contribute, you'll get bad stuff but you'll get good stuff you just wouldn't get otherwise. It's a great format to capture that. We would use the same system for edit rights that we use now. Make appDB account then ask to be a maintainer then you can edit the wiki page for that app. The wiki is only for application notes. Anyone can read the wiki history. Pro: The only thing the wiki will do thats new is we will have a history on the maintainers notes. Con: It would be very hard to set up. I'm cc'ing this to wine-users - since I'd need to make a case for the wiki to developers, but it's actually *for* the users. Users: what's right and wrong with the AppDB? How useful is it for you? What would make it better? Do not cross post or you may up set people with power.

Just deleting entries from AppDB, deletes information the wine community collected to support using wine. Users spent a lot of time and just deleting their work is *not* acceptable.

I was amazed when testing JTAGTest on Linux! This is in my opinion quite big issue as ordinary users do not have problem clicking on New folder.exe on their flashdisk etc. It's good that wine is so compatible that it runs even viruses, but I think there should be some (optional) protection. The biggest problem seem to be removable media, in many distributions mounted under /mnt or /media. Please think about this twice before writing problem is in Microsoft not in Wine, it's not a bug but feature, etc. It's too childish IMO. Why not make Wine honor the noexe flag on the mount?

The proper command, as I have learned through years of UNIX administration, is 'su -' but newbies don't know this and most just use 'su'. Can you point me at a guide for using ICMP 'Ping' without root? Sorry for being a noob.
