They released a giant ruby blob of their patches. Usable, but certainly not cooperative. I wish Apple would get over themselves and just contribute to WINE. Make it seamless and easy for developers, and help fix the bugs as they find them. They are stuck in the middle of the chicken and egg problem while refusing to hatch some eggs.
- IshKebab 3y agoFor companies, contributing to open source projects is generally around 10x slower than just forking and doing it all internally. So it may be primarily just because it's easier for them. The main reason I've been pushing really hard to get the code I work on upstreamed is to reduce merge conflicts when I pull from upstream! But it's a real slog.
- a_vanderbilt 3y agoTrue, and I've run into similar issues as well, especially with legal. At the very least they could release a cleanly mergable set of diffs, commented for the benefit of whatever poor soul had to merge that 20k patch.
