Re: Wine FIXME Report January 2010
Hi! It would be very nice to know if any of the most reported ERRs, WARNs, FIXMEs etc. from the _previous_ run is now gone (in other words, that it has been fixed/implemented) Thanks, Tomas
Re: WineHQ should discourage the use of cracks
No argument on the US part. I'm still convinced that by EU laws, you're allowed to crack an app you bought in order to make it run on your software. As this hasn't been tested in court yet, though, I'll concede. This has been tested in the Norwegian court (the famous DVD-Jon case). It was ruled that developing, distributing and applying software to make software work on your OS is perfectly legal. But then again we don't have a horde of those nasty lobbyists over here. Cheers, Tomas
Re: Wine Weekly News
All good points (from a fellow Norwegian :) On the other hand, appDB entries are (and probably always will be) user generated content, and users will always have different opinions (and environment setup). IMHO users won't sue wine if the abbDB status differs from their experience with an app. It's regarded more of a pointer at this stage. But, as more and more lovely testing code gets into wine, and if there's going to be a stable and unstable branch after 1.0 - things will look slightly different... Tomas Zijdemans Alexander Nicolaysen Sørnes wrote: The problem of using test results as background for this is that they are very dependent on the experience of each user. For instance some might be unable to run a game because they have execshield or other stuff that mess up Wine, or simply because they are not following the how-to instructions. Take the Age of Empires II test report, for instance. The user has rated it Gold even though the text on the main menu is displayed black instead of white (on a dark background), and the game is a bit slow even on a modern computer. The alternative is to use the maintainer ratings, which are generally more correct but updated far less frequently. Alexander N.

Wine gets exposed in Norway :)
The most visited and respected technology related site in Norway (210 000 unique norwegian hits a week), is now launching a series of articles where they will test 3 games thoroughly in wine each month! Today the first article tested Fahrenheit, Guild Wars: Nightfall and Civilization IV: Warlords. The results where good and focused on what users should do to make them work smoothly. Hope this is an encouragement for Stefan and all the others of you working to get games working :)
The: Wine Status - ChangeLog
This page has been dead since October 1. Since I'm not producing code for the Wine project, this is an area I'd like to contribute to. (I'm already taking screenshots of the API status page to see what happens from release to release :)) Is there some WineHQ folks here that would be willing to give me accsess? Regards.

Re: FPS tool for wine
Good point. What they probably want, is an external tool (like fraps) that gives them some nice numbers. I have informed them of your comments, and hope they consider it. This is the largest computer-related site in Norway, so I hope Wine can get some good PR here.. Stefan Dösinger wrote: Am Dienstag 22 Mai 2007 00:13 schrieb [EMAIL PROTECTED]: The largest gaming site in Norway recently did an extensive review of gaming on Linux, but Wine was left out of the benchmark because no FPS tool exists for Wine. Surely this can't be true? What exactly do they mean with FPS tools? After working with all this 3D business since almost 2 years I do not know what this term would precicely mean :-o If they mean built-in benchmark tools, then we have something like that, the fps debug channel which shows the ddraw / d3d / opengl buffer flips per secound. But why would they prefer external stuff over the games' built-in benchmark features?
