Stories From The Vineyard

An anonymous reader writes "Brian Vincent of Wine Weekly News fame has started a new series of interviews with the Wine developers, over at the newly redesigned WineHQ site. The first interview features Über-hacker Ove Kåven, while the second one (hot off the press) features long-time Wine hacker Dimitrie O. Paun. Cheese anyone?"

it appears that privoxy is stripping all content from the page. how nice.

Re:newly redesigned? its blank.

Ok, just checked. Mozilla 1.3 - WinXP - Site works.

Debian Testing - Mozilla 1.0 - Site Works.

Debian Testing - Konq. 2.2 - Site works.

Looks like the problem's somewhere else.

Is privoxy stripping the code? Or does WINE not want you to use privoxy on their site? or both???

Anyway, I'm having the same problems

I maintain WineHQ, and if there is a problem I'd like to track it down. The site works in every browser combo I can get my grubby fingers on. It even validates at http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=www.winehq.org

So, if there is a bug, it may lie with my version of PHP, or Apache.

Or another cause lies in the compression using PHP's ob_gzhandler gzip compression routine. Best to check to see if privoxy supports gzip compression.

It's actually a bug in PHP.

I found the new website to be fantastic

[puddpunk]

Since I've been involved in following the Wine project, I've always thought their website was a little tame and perhaps needed a spruce-up.

Their new website is very easy to use, looks great and I applaud the developers. All the information I need is but a click away!

Also, the Wine project helps me do anything I need in Linux. ~90% of the Windows programs that I try under Wine work. Keep up the good work, guys :)

have they fixed the glibc problem?

[7-Vodka]

Have the wine developers decided on how they're going to fix the problem that wine doesn't work with the new glibc? (2.3?)

That's about the only showstopper i have in gentoo ~x86 atm.

Re:have they fixed the glibc problem?

[Arandir]

Maybe they should go slap the glibc developers upside the head. And when they're done they should stop making themselves dependent upon a specific implementation of libc.

Re:have they fixed the glibc problem?

[IamTheRealMike]

Yeah, support for various versions of glibc 2.3.x is in the new release (not actually on the website yet, but you can download it if you check the announcements list)

Piccies!
