Hi Tom!
I am afraid you have come accross an unmaintained part of wine. There is maybe
nobody who can competently help you. Nobody minds helping you, but nobody can
help you.
What happens then is that you write a mail and get no answers. You get
frustrated(not your fault), write a mail in which you complain nobody has
answered. 3 persons who do no know the part of wine you're modifying reply 3
different answers. Discussions start, and then AJ stops applying patches
until the discussions have come to a conclusion.
Ok, thank you very much. That was exactly what I needed to hear.
Thats just what I think has happened, but I don't know the uninstaller eiter.
So count this as a 4th answer to "why does nobody answer me" :-)
It wasnt so much a question of why does nobody answer me.. I have been
getting responses, it's just that I was not getting anywhere with the
responses I was getting. I have all of the information I need I think
to be able to finally get this handled now..
As for finding out what aj disliked about your patches my experience is that
it is best to ask him on irc(#winehackers on freenode). But I also know that
aj stops looking at patches if there is way too much dispute about them. In
this case you should send single patches to wine-patches starting that you
want to start the process over. Of course the patches should have the
suggestions implemented that were made before, or if not a good reason why
you have chosen to do otherwise(Not all suggestions are good).
My last question is this: What is an acceptable amount of time I
should wait before asking AJ what is wrong with a patch? I see that
patches get submitted and then the next day they are committed
oftentimes. However I would like I am pressuring him if I submit a
patch, it didnt get committed the next day, and then I shortly after
ask him what was wrong. So, should I wait until day 2 or so?
Unfortunately my company firewall blocks all of the IRC ports, so I
can't get onto freenode from work, and by the time I get home, most
times #winehackers (well #winehq anyways) is dead. I'll check in
winehackers next time..
Thank you very much for putting my fears to rest. Now for the arduous
task of starting over heheh.
