OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2

Hello,
My name is Bastian and I am a Super Maintainer of the application
'Re-Volt'. I somehow managed to remove all HOWTOs written by myself in
the process of merging two version entries for this application. Asking
on #winehq led me here, and I am now requesting a recovery of these
HOWTOs. From what I have been told, Codeweavers keep backups of the wine
application database. The HOWTOs got removed April the 14th just a few
hours ago.
Here is some background:
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=3151
There is quite many sub-versions of Re-Volt 1.20 due to unofficial
patches being released every 3rd month. Since a previous version becomes
obsolete once a new version is released, me and Super Maintainer Luke
has agreed to keep a version entry named "1.20" for older versions and
keep one separate entry for the latest patch released, as suggested in
the maintainer guidelines.
A new version of Re-Volt was released the 7th April 2012 named
"1.2a12.0405". The previous version entry "1.2a12.0107" therefore had to
be merged with version entry "1.20". I moved all test entries, one by
one, from "1.2a12.0107" to "1.20". The version entry "1.2a12.0107" was
thereafter deleted.
When I started as Super Maintainer I wrote 3 HOWTOs. These HOWTOs was
created at the page of version entry "1.2a12.0107" but was set to be
displayed at version "1.0", "1.10" and "1.20" too. Deleting version
entry "1.2a12.0107" also deleted the HOWTOs because I was unaware that
the HOWTOs was dependent on this version entry. I am not sure I
understand why it is either when the HOWTOs was supposed to be shared
across several versions of Re-Volt. Is this intended by design? Anyway,
if these can be recovered I would be very pleased.
Best Regards,
Bastian
