Stories From The Vineyard

Posted by timothy on from the underestimated dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Brian Vincent of Wine Weekly News fame has started a new series of interviews with the Wine developers, over at the newly redesigned WineHQ site. The first interview features Über-hacker Ove Kåven, while the second one (hot off the press) features long-time Wine hacker Dimitrie O. Paun. Cheese anyone?"

    Ok, just checked. Mozilla 1.3 - WinXP - Site works.

    Debian Testing - Mozilla 1.0 - Site Works.

    Debian Testing - Konq. 2.2 - Site works.

    Looks like the problem's somewhere else.

    wine? wow. haven't heard of it in a long time. can it run any useful windows apps yet? (how is it for warcraft or neverwinter nights or any other games?)

  5. I found the new website to be fantastic by puddpunk · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Since I've been involved in following the Wine project, I've always thought their website was a little tame and perhaps needed a spruce-up.

    Their new website is very easy to use, looks great and I applaud the developers. All the information I need is but a click away!

    Also, the Wine project helps me do anything I need in Linux. ~90% of the Windows programs that I try under Wine work. Keep up the good work, guys :)

  6. have they fixed the glibc problem? by 7-Vodka · · Score: 4, Interesting
    Have the wine developers decided on how they're going to fix the problem that wine doesn't work with the new glibc? (2.3?)

    That's about the only showstopper i have in gentoo ~x86 atm.

      Maybe they should go slap the glibc developers upside the head. And when they're done they should stop making themselves dependent upon a specific implementation of libc.

    Is privoxy stripping the code? Or does WINE not want you to use privoxy on their site? or both???

    Anyway, I'm having the same problems

    I maintain WineHQ, and if there is a problem I'd like to track it down. The site works in every browser combo I can get my grubby fingers on. It even validates at http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=www.winehq.org

    So, if there is a bug, it may lie with my version of PHP, or Apache.

    Or another cause lies in the compression using PHP's ob_gzhandler gzip compression routine. Best to check to see if privoxy supports gzip compression.
