Accepted patches in the mainline Git repository. Same from cia.vc.

My "hacks" git repository.

WineBot is a tool to create and keep track of wine prefixes and for automated installation of software into them.

Stuff to follow up on, that probably deserves a bug-report or should go on some to-do list if not fixed (beware this is a private dump, more a list of things I want to see happen, than things I will do myself):

• mshtml.idl "Boolmark" typo?
• crc errors in lineage installer (and others, e.g. civ4 demo, conquer online) (were these caused by fs corrupt?)
• when dragging notepad around sometimes gray lines remain on the input field.
• UseXVidMode=N does not prevent setting gamma
• chars that are not present in the currently used font don't get exchanged out of fonts that have them, like it is usually done for native linux applications

• change .dll load order with help from KnownDlls (e.g. needed for spellforce because of it's native modified dbghelp.dll)

  • http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsetup/html/dlldanger1.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/03/Loader/ http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/dynamic_link_library_redirection.asp

• seh debugchannel should be more easily readable
  • show more obviously where the exception occurred
  • translate exception code to name if available
• add if optional compile dependencies were met/included and their version to binaries... something like wine --depends ?
• refresh button for uninstaller
• add table with popular class ids and how to obtain them or if they can be ignored
• wineshelllink makes an absolute reference to /tmp instead of over $TMP or $TMPDIR
• lxr full-text search does not work, glimpse index is not built, see tools.git
• refuse to change c drive in winecfg
• wine selects wrong font CivIV uses sylfaen.ttf in Assets/res/Fonts for the main menu, which is different from the one in Resource/Fonts; when the later is also available from native linux, the wrong one gets selected
• some hack to get winedbg attached to starfoce and others that prevent this with process access settings
• fix widl to compile for win32 (make other wine stuff protable to win32)
• add a test appdb application/version/etc.

• wine options revamping and exporting hinted at in my comment at https://sandbox.cz/project/winebot/ticket/68

  • tags/macros to export all used registry keys and what they do, so it can replace UsefulRegistryKeys , possible integrade with wine api docs

• check (build-)depends of deb packages
  • file Wishlist bug against debian packages for a meta package so users don't wonder when e.g. d3d is not installed
  • check if it could otherwise be improved
  • compare with winehq and ubuntu packages
  • is there a wine packagers guide?
  • package wine tests with wine (additional package)
  • run wine tests with wine binary packages
  • can anything else be checked about packages to ensure they are sound?

• is continuum hack still needed? http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=3703

• how good does wine work in Xephyr (d3d), crashed before even for simple things; heard that there is a bug in xephyr because it works when glx extension is filtered?
• these should be only scattered to one or at most two places:

  • SubmittingPatches

  • SubmittingPatches_v2

  • http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/winedev-guide/codingpractice

  • http://www.winehq.org/site/sending_patches

  • FAQ "How do I become a Wine developer?" and "code that I would like to submit to the Wine project"

• merge http://winehq.org/site/who into wiki main page and user pages?

• move to wiki?: http://www.winehq.org/site/resources

• merge and organize TodoList

• warn about more stuff in --verbose configure more obviously?
• can wineapi put a overview on each dllpage and a short description on the main page

• add more information to ThirdPartyApplications

  • add winebot
  • explain how winetricks and winebot are good; and winetools is bad; wine-doors as of yet undetermined
  • not all 3rd party applications are of the workaround kind; about wanted prefix-manager/launching gui

• check that http://winehq.org/site/sending_patches says clearly that it only means the add Changelog in the git patch mail-header sense, not in the file ChangeLog sense

• cursor-patches (e.g. with latest everquest;conquer online;civ4) display cursor color distorted in 16bit desktop, works in 24bit
• sort out Bugzilla components mess; get a clear definition for each component; discuss on -devel component per groups of dlls vs every dll; Bugzilla upgrade might help with custom field to gain something like a dll tag or list of affected files
• exporting AJs -patches mailbox (e.g. list with from/subject/msg-id or something) (AJ said that's not hard to do), especially nice would be exporting the expiring patches so one can easier track that nothing gets forgotten
• possibly add macro/functions for tests to indicate and test with trap for
  • crashes wine but not native
  • crashes native (and thus should crash wine)

• try to get explanation for http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160867

• add list of all debug channels to wineapi

• add info about http://repo.or.cz/ to GitWine

• documentation about cd autodetection; how, when detected, as what registered, what happens with pre-configured devices

• http://www.winehq.org/site/download redhat link is dead, make sure icon and text links are the same.

• pick useful stuff from linux kernel Documentation/SubmittingPatches

• add list of copy/cheat/debug/reverse eng. prevention classified with working or not to wiki (possibly with links to bugs, wikipedia description)
• wiki needs a pages linking to this page feature
• add wiki cvs module at sf to cvs and git? page
• possibly replace URLs in source code with comment describing the same or remove them
• different font look in bullet lists with and without links, compare with vitamins fix for tables
• get xslt enabled on this wiki
• communication / user support guidelines; for friendlier atmosphere; get ideas from what freenode, fedora, ubuntu, gentoo, debian do

• add howto for msi with jscript to wiki, http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.wine.devel/51345

• add to wiki:

  • there is a git backup (made daily) at http://repo.or.cz/w/wine.git

  • either edit .git/remotes/origin ( that is where it's saved here) or the apropriate remote file or edit .git/config (or change it with git config )
• find bug in winedelay trace patch

  • [12T00:05:14] <bobobo_> Amorphous: actually i noticed something else : when starting with WINEDELAY=enabled, things are a bit messed up. It's fine with WINEDELAY=1, and then toggling with f12. I don't know what the issue is, maybe problem with the initialization ? [12T00:06:00] <bobobo_> by messed up, i mean that not all channel report - or dont report - properly

• find way to toggle winedelay trace patch externally (trough pipe?)
• move all the checkglcalls in wined3d into the FP macros for gl, then only enable them by a debug chan., but one checkgl each frame
• collect all the other wine related sites in the wiki, e.g. the distribution specific ones
• do file names with wired chars work correctly with other win apps?
  • show correctly in open dialog, can be opened, show filename correctly in application?
• fix virtual desktop properly...
  • ability to let it grab the mouse
  • don't let application inside of v. d. lose focus because v. d. lost focus
  • some test cases fail when they are run inside of v. d.
  • some of these already have bugs filed in bugzilla...
• check if there is a way to prevent wine from modifying the alsa mixer
• howto describing applying selinux onto wine to confine it
• add clock to alsa null plugin so it is limited to the correct rate
• oprofile

  • http://www.winehq.com/?issue=249#oprofile%20&%20Wine

    http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/doc/

        # once:
        opcontrol --separate=kernel --callgraph=10 [--no-vmlinux|--vmlinux=/boot/the-vmlinux-of-your-currently-running-kernel]
        # to record a session
        opcontrol --start
        opcontrol --reset
        opcontrol --dump && opcontrol --save=NAME
        opcontrol --shutdown
        #
        opreport -l session:NAME ['*wined3d*']
        opannotate --source --search-dirs=/path/to/wine/build/dir/dlls/wined3d --output-dir=/some/empty/dir session:NAME '*wined3d*'
        

    The --search-dirs argument may be necessary because wine has relative path to the source like ../../../../wine-build/dlls/dllname/source.c .
