Hi,
you may have noticed that I've always sent patches for the 3 audio drivers
that I consider current and mostly up to date:
+ winealsa
+ wineoss
+ winecoreaudio
and never for one of the other ones which I consider obsolete.
- winejack
- wineesd
- winenas
Sometimes I've been wondering whether I should include and take care of
winejack too, although I've neither the jack development package nor
do I know or use any software that uses Jack.
As for the others, I really consider them obsolete and never look at them.
This is not entirely satisfactory, as I've been blaming (in thoughts) the one
or other developer who in the past fixed a bug in one of the drivers without
fixing the same bug in the other ones... Code continues to diverge...
What do you think?
- Why did people submit patches to one driver only when a short glance
shows that the same bug is in the other cloned drivers too?
- Is WineJack "current" and worth some effort?
- Let the others continue to decay?
- Remove them from git?
Please don't shout for maintenance by others too early:
how much time do *you* invest in making Wine better?
Regards,
Jörg Höhle
