. Obviously this kind of functionality is not a job
for Wine, but for the distro. Still, it got me thinking how this kind
of functionality might be achieved.
My idea is that the appdb should allow for people to associate a list
of checksums with an application version. For example, WoW might have
simply isn't reliable enough for this type of
dependence. With any luck, that will change when the recently
discussed redesign of test data submissions is set up, but it'd still
take a long time for sensible data to become reasonably usable.

This was discussed a couple months ago, nearly to death. It's a cool
idea, sure, but a ton of work to do, and not really worth the effort.
The data is quickly outdated with new wine versions. Some users may

Please correct me if I'm wrong but before we go about collecting all
this information wouldn't it be better to have some compatibility
framework in Wine that could actually make use of it? Otherwise we're
collecting a lot of information that is of little immediate use.
