Hi Dan,

Hi Jacek,
as of today, "winetricks gecko" triggers the download
dialog box :-(
Presumably this was caused by
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-cvs/2009-November/061489.html

Even if I rearrange the script so there are no invocations
of wine before unpacking gecko, it still puts up
the dialog box when I run regedit to tell wine
about the gecko I unpacked!

Got any suggestions?

The plan is that winetricks should not be used for installing Gecko. Users really should use packagers. People compiling Wine themselves should read this:
http://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko
If it's not clear enough, we should fix it.

BTW, I've just noticed that we should also change the text in download dialog. Here is my proposal: "Wine could not find a Gecko package which is needed for applications embedding HTML to work correctly. Wine can automatically download and install it for you. Note: it's recommended to use distro packages instead. See http://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko for details."
Any suggestions are welcome.


Thanks,
   Jacek
