    16 years old bug... and it is still in the state of "New".

    I have some WINE bug reports too, but there are 0 indication of that even somebody opened them at least once. It is frustrating.​

      Wine management is amazing. CodeWeavers should be proud of themselves.

      Seriously, public officials are more efficient and better managers.

      I understand Wine is a very complex and hairy project, but it severely lacks manpower and better management.

        Go fix the bugs yourself then since it's open source. Wasn't that your religion?

        So what's the problem?

            I'm gonna interject here.
            I understand what you're referring to, only for less than a year gitlab was starting to being used as Merge Request hub, less than 2 years ago they were still exclusively using mailing lists, which in my opinion is stupid for such a large project (the same could be said for linux-kernel and its mailing list: seriously, it's hard to un-entangle everything), and that slowed down so much stuff.

            Only relatively recently we're seeing fast-paced development, see: Wayland Merge Requests, faster reviewing, notifications, upvotes, all that stuff.

              I wonder if they developers of wine should go through the bug list and get the community of users to check the status of a lot of these bugs. Like some projects do for a bug fix weekend, but instead a bug verification weekend. I would not be surprised to find out that the majority just haven't been checked to see if they have been resolved.

                Ah, the good ol' “everyone-is-a-developer” mentality again.

                  Don't feed the troll! He isn't a developer at all!

                    Awesome! I'll finally be able to play Lego Island again! Next it would be great if I could figure out a way around the virtual memory error I get when launching Total Distortion.
