wine users - Mar 2012 - Gold or Platinium when flaws are not Wine fault.

Imagine this situation: an application works perfectly iff you install the old
indeo codecs (winetricks -q icodecs).

Now, as far I understood, implementing an alternative to indeo codecs is not in
the scope of Wine. So from what Wine team is concerned the application works
fine.

The same example can be applied to mfc40 and others.


In this cases I should tag the application as Gold or Platinum?
In other words, Platinum excludes every type of setup or it only excludes dll
overrides of Wine built-ins?

Thanks.

Platinum means an app or game works the same as on Windows out of the box. If
you have to install something (codec, runtime) separately on Windows to make an
app or game work, then having to install it separately in Wine should not affect
the rating. If this is the case, you should note that in the Extra Comments
section of the test report. FYI, this is also true for bugs in the game or app
that exist on Windows, too.
