As I think that Alexandre has stated his preference (and I can understand
him taking a long term view), I want to ask the packagers for the distros
out there: Would it be OK for you to add the necessary patch into the
code that you distribute. Personally, that means Marcus and the openSUSE
wine packages :-)
While distributions are of course free to do that, keep in mind that
that would also make them responsible for supporting that code. I'm
not sure how feasible that would be for something so close to core
Wine functionality.
Distributions don't really "support" Wine anyway. At best we just make a
new package every now and again.
Yes, but the point is that bugs filed against such a package are
potentially invalid. (People should use git for filing bugs, but not
everyone does.)
We already expect our users to indicate if they've done any manual
registry changes when reporting bugs. This seems like just another
instance of that.
Thanks,
Scott Ritchie
