Hello,
when I tried to apply the patches for the recent Wine versions, I
noticed that in all patches released in the last weeks, the dir names
do not match the names in the source code tar archives. So, for
example, if the source code had been unpacked into Wine-0.9.18, the
patch to upgrade it to v0.9.19 would use 'a' and 'b' instead of
'Wine-0.9.18' and 'Wine-0.9.19' as dir names.
I really do not know why anyone would want to call their Wine source
code dir 'a' or 'b', particularly since this means that the patch might
be accidentally applied to the wrong version if one is not careful.
Would it be possible to revert this to the old naming scheme again, or
is there something that prevents this?
Regards,
Udo Kuhnt
