Site-wide WIDE-installations - Experience, tips & tricks?
Hi! Being quite new to WINE, I wandered around in the documentation and found section 5.6.5 and 5.6.6 of http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wine-user/registry where it states that a WINE installations can be shared for all users of a system. That's very interesting - can I find more documentation about such setups anywhere? Specifically the documentation says: "FIXME: global configuration currently not implemented." That seems to be true when doing a quick test - Running wine-20031118-1rh8winehq (RPM from winehq.org), I notice that values I put in /etc/wine/wine.conf doesn't seem to propagate down to my test users wine sessions - the wine session for that user seems to use ~/.wine/config instead. Any hint on when this functionality will be implemented? Can similar functionality be aquired using some other method? What's "best practices" in this case? Is global registry functionality implemented, or does the FIXME apply to that as well? How do I install applications best in a system-wide installation? Any info on how to properly maintain a system-wide WINE installation would be appreciated. \EF -- Erik Forsberg Telephone: +46-13-21 46 00 Cendio AB Web: http://www.cendio.com
