Something that interfaces with the AppDB would be good. It would make
things easier. I think, given the complaints given by the developers are
also valid but so are the complaints made by the people trying to use
the program and even the testers. Most other projects don't need such
tools but this one does given what its trying to accomplish and the
complexity of whats being accomplished. Besides even windows XP has a
roll back feature now to fix problems. Why doesn't wine considering its
attempting a bug for bug compatibility with windows. This would be a
wise thing to implement just for sanities sake.
IMO, the best thing for Wine would be to have a simple front end with a
list of freely downloadable applications that work "out of the box" with
no configuration changes.
Click -> Download application -> Install -> Run
This would make it easy to for users to get applications working, find
and report regressions, and fully test Wine, and would fully support
developers in our quest to build a fully free environment for running
Windows applications.
