This is the 372nd issue of the World Wine News publication. Its main goal is to inform you of what's going on around Wine. Wine is an open source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. Think of it as a Windows compatibility layer. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely alternative implementation consisting of 100% Microsoft-free code, but it can optionally use native system DLLs if they are available. You can find more info at www.winehq.org

New WineHQ Server Archive
Jeremy White (Founder and CEO of CodeWeavers Inc.) wrote:

Hi Folks,

As you probably saw, we have deployed a new server to replace our 5 year old work horse. This new server will hopefully hold us for the next 5 years. It's got good specs; 6 core Xeon, 32G of RAM (easily expandable to 128), raid 10 (also easily expandable).

In a particularly nice development, this server was purchased by the Software Freedom Conservancy using funds provided by a donor. This donor doesn't want a particularly big fuss made out of it, and so prefers that I not announce a name publicly.

I'd like to thread this needle somewhat carefully, as *I* think it's a remarkably generous gift. So I propose that, at our next convenient opportunity, we all lift a glass in appreciation of anonymous donors everywhere!

Cheers,

Jeremy


Failing tests on test bots Archive

Alright,

We have a new VM server. We have a new WineHQ server.

Things should be stable, or getting better from now on.

But we still have 32 failures: http://www.winehq.org/~jwhite/e29fd5429234.html

This sucks. Let's fix it.

Cheers,

Jeremy
