phoenicis Provide Wine gecko and mono runtime

While i try to install new application on phoenicis it usually prompts me with (that require pressing install)

Which is annoying.. -> Do not prompt for user-input

It's not like we actively open this window... I don't know a way to prevent this, so unless you can prove that it's possible I will close this issue as "invalid".

The only way to prevent it is to provide a gecko/mono runtime with Wine

Do we want to do that? If not, we should close the issue.

Jun 08 '19 12:06 plata

Yes we absolutely do

Jun 08 '19 12:06 qparis

So we move this to winebuild?

Jun 08 '19 12:06 plata

This is not really related to winebuild. This is more transveral feature. Winebuild is really few impacted in fact

Jun 08 '19 12:06 qparis

Ah ok so not the part of that Wine runtime that we have currently.

Jun 08 '19 12:06 plata

We have three components that are impacted:

scripts : gecko and mono are pretty much managed like the runtime
webservice : this needs to be released open source or rewritten as a micro service. At the moment, it is a small PHP code that runs on the website
winebuild? : A component that finds what is the right gecko archive for a given wine version

Understood.

There is also silent way to install mono.. https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/app-emulation/wine-mono/wine-mono-4.8.3.ebuild

same for gecko afaik

This is what we are talking about

The only way to know the right gecko/mono version for a certain wine version is to look at https://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko and https://wiki.winehq.org/Mono. However, for all wine > 2.0, you can always use latest gecko and mono it seems.

Or we can probably solve this by providing verb assuming that there might be wineapps that breaks if mono/gecko is present.

Jun 10 '19 14:06 Kreyren

Nope. A verb works inside a prefix and once the prefix is created, it is already too late, the window has already been shown

Jun 10 '19 14:06 qparis

@qparis install it prior to making wineprefix then

Jun 10 '19 15:06 Kreyren

Then it is not a verb and it is installed aside the wineversion, exactly what we are talking about
