Interesting project, it's almost like they searched through the WineHQ bug tracker for unmerged fixes and made a huge branch with all of them. There are certainly a lot of fixes that never make it to mainline Wine. The handful I've been watching have gone nearly 5 years without any meaningful progress past the initial patch. Occasionally someone will comment that the issue still affects them. I'm not sure what the solution is, it's an unpaid project.

- stuaxo 11y agoAlexandre Juliarde keeps a very high quality threshold for patches, which makes sense as it's such a complicated project. This can make the conversations quite interesting from the outside if you're into this sort of thing.
