Winetricks now in portage

I just noticed winetricks in portage. If you emerge zenity, you even get a nice GUI.

Nice!

I would like to see zenity added as a use flag.

EDIT:

This post makes post #3300. 1100 more and I'll be The 4400!

Why not make winetricks a dependency or optional dependency of zenity (I have no idea what all zenity does...)?

It gives you a nice GUI for winetricks.

I may do this myself when I have the chance. Should be easy.

Zenity:

Code: Select all

# eix zenity
* gnome-extra/zenity
     Available versions:  2.30.0 2.32.1 {+compat debug libnotify}
     Homepage:            http://live.gnome.org/Zenity
     Description:         Tool to display dialogs from the commandline and shell scripts

So it is nothing winetricks specific I daresay... (winetricks has a GUI, it uses TK AFAIR)

Nope, nothing winetricks specific. All I can tell you is I emerged winetricks, typed "winetricks" and it told me to install zenity if I wanted a GUI. I did, and I got it.

It is better to use gtk USE flag, no app have zenity flag, also, kdialog will be supported in future, then kde flag can be added. Of course someone should file a bug

audiodef · Post by **audiodef** » Mon Mar 14, 2011 9:50 pm

That would be another way to do it. I think I'll post a poll.

Can't seem to add a poll to an existing thread, so we'll do it this way...

Who thinks it's a better idea to use a "gtk" instead of a "zenity" use flag for the winetricks ebuild? Is there an even more appropriate flag to use?

I don't think poll is needed for this, zenity uses gtk to display dialogs, so instead of use flags "zenity" and "kdialog" we can simple have "gtk" and "kde" (actually I saw that ebuilds that use zenity have gnome instead of gtk flag) , but I think either is better than introduce new flag that doesn't tell user what it is...

Ah, that explains a lot.

I am using winetricks (it is just a shell script anyway...) for ages now and always had a gui. In "ancient" times it was just TK, and then switched to work well with kdialog (winetricks-alpha ? Or regular?). The version installed by that ebuild does not work with kdialog yet. Or maybe worked, because it installs revision 185 while the current revision is 298.

I have tested the current revision with kdialog, and it works well. Therefore I have changed the versioned ebuild to a live one (with "gtk" and "kde" use flags) and opened [bug=358997]Bug 358997[/bug] for it.

Edit: Wow. After starting the new revision of winetricks, it took nearly a minute to do some "Upgrade" to my wine configuration. After this, Wizardry8 suddenly works again with DirectX7. I simply love this tool!

Thanks for the bug report, Yamakuzure.

I'm sure a lot of people are going to appreciate it.

i am noticing winetricks ebuild is at r185. svn repo is at r489. what's up with that, isn't 185 sort of ancient? for example this is what i just ran into: http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t ... eedddb1a8a

Looks like it's time for a custom ebuild!

Who knows?

For anyone who isn't quite up to modding their own ebuilds, you can conveniently find it on this page. The list is alphabetical, or you can search for "winetricks".

Just use the "live" one from Bug 358997 or from my overlay. ( http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/? ... git;a=tree or "layman -a seden")
