Re: Netmeeting under wine

2003-11-18 Thread Jérôme Bouat
I just tried to help someone which has to use under Linux a H.323
solution NOW.

I don't think Wine will be able to run NetMeeting in a few weeks, nor in
a few months.

If I would not advise him this alternative, the only choice this
NetMeeting user had was to through away Linux and come back to Windows.


I understand that you feel very concerned by wine success and I excuse
me if you were irritated. It was not my goal.

As a conclusion, I would say that if you invest as many energy in the
Wine development as you did in this flame mail, I think Wine could be
use widely soon. I would be happy.

Well, we could also have said (and with reasons) 'This is a developper
mailing list - send your support request to wine-users / raise a bug on
BugZilla / post on cemw / come on #WineHQ on FreeNode'.

Imagine the nightmare if all the people asking for Kazaa / HalfLife /
CounterStrike support on #WineHQ started sending mails to this list ?

Note that I agree that Wine seriously lacks efficient supports channels, but
wine-devel is certainly not a support channel (or at least not for such
plain 'Does app X work on Wine ?' requests - on the other hand, any question
where the guy enters sufficiently into details of his debugging and ask
detailed questions is welcome here).

Hi,

Time for me to get into trouble again :)

Not only that, but I'm somehow dragging myself too. Your'e good :-)

This guy ask if we could help him to get a win
app that he uses "Netmeeting" in this case to work with
the vine "wine" but instead of help he got use this... as its native 
to linux!

Well, I guess making a new app work on Wine is a non-trivial task, and 
so people prefer to focus their efforts where the app is truely needed - 
i.e., where no native free software alternative is available. This does 
not mean that David can't hack wine to make NetMeeting work himself, or 
that Alexandre won't commit it. It just means that I, for one, have 
little incentive to jump in at the moment. Once Jérôme pointed (me) to 
GnomeMeeting (how did they skip the chance to call it Gnomeeting??), 
it's not my itch any more.

People Wine is for Win apps!! I know there are many native 
apps that will
replace win apps, fulfill your needs but.. WTF is this project 
about??? running win apps on linux??
Certanly for some people. I know that's a lot of what it is to me, in 
any case. Without trying to claim that ReactOS guys are not doing a 
wonderful job, I'm still after using Linux (or any other free OS, I 
don't care that much) for as much of my day2day activities as possible. 
Wine is one of the tools to do that.

Not you should use this or that app in its place, but you should use 
what your
comfortable with.. what you spent your hard earned money on..
But what about the not-yet-spent money? Will it be cheaper to learn a 
new app, or to support NetMeeting? Remeber, that app is integrated into 
the Windows OS in levels I don't think even IE can rival.

I know that I found Jérôme's post useful. One may adopt a more "FYI" 
tone in the future.

So to sum this rant up.

In the future dont say use what I use, but help them use what there 
use to and Wine will fulfill
its goal...
