I thinks that using silver won't be correct here either. "Some patches" could be treated too widely - and I think that we really don't want someone to use patch that, say, changes most of the wineserver to be inproc, and then treat it as "some patches" and rate an app as "Golden" with it. And an argument that patching Wine isn't something that is easy for average user is also a valid point. IMO if we want to handle "patched Wine" case in AppDB is some sane manner it would be better just to add a separate flag for a testreport to indicate was the Wine used for testing "vanilla" or not - it would make more sense for users and would allow to display test results acquired with a patched Wine in a visually distinguishable way from reports acquired with vanilla Wine. Thus, non-experienced users would be mostly checking results and ratings poster for non-patched Wine, while geeks would be doing their geekish business that they had always been doing. Just two my cents. - -- Best regards, Alexey Loukianov mailto:mooro...@mail.ru System Engineer, Mob.:+7(926)218-1320 *nix Specialist -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJPtBMuAAoJEPB9BOdTkBUL9D8H/0PKyuHZf1oHkfNbz+xqs/EV 7csJjwzfkXta4OAJWd0nStsodQAVLWv35vUueltBwoYs6WG/9y6zOCTuYve5+S7c aCoxJMGplzGUU2xlylk0uaJSxFFWIB/KGGl9ICghv9xHGsfG0oktjKjau8PY413J BaJU+7UZb/O38h/GqlYF18z+x8NwOPcYQpEJj0WhYZDEalfWWtvzEekcXf2xTOPQ p0woOV6NDLxbKG3VIRIOgaWyQorxw/xUobbAWkXu6YFrsTffEyuMuxHoGKQi3p3R lCEJPQRvoG0vRZTIWFRT23g1fpzW9s7mkkP31pQXel2jAL5R6TqUnIpSQhLuMGw= =wKbQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
