<sect1 id="pkg-date"> <title>Document Revision Date</title>
<para>
The information contained in this document is extremely
time sensitive. <emphasis>It is vital that a packager
stay current with changes in Wine. </>
Changes to this document could be tracked e.g. by viewing its CVS log.
Due to Wine's fast development, a recent revision date
does not necessarily indicate that this document is 100% on par
with what Wine's full installation requirements are
(especially whenever lazy developers don't properly update the
documentation to include info about new features they implemented).
</para>
<para>
This document was last revised on January 16, 2003.</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="pkg-terms"> <title>Terms used in this document</title>
<para>There are several terms and paths used in this
document as place holders for configurable values.
Those terms are described here.
</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem id=WINECONFDIR><para id=wineconfdir.id><EnVar>WINECONFDIR</EnVar></para>
<para>
<envar>WINECONFDIR</envar> is the user's Wine configuration directory.
This is almost always ~/.wine, but can be overridden
by the user by setting the <EnVar>WINECONFDIR</EnVar> environment
variable.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem id=PREFIX><para id=prefix.id><EnVar>PREFIX</EnVar></para>
<para>
<envar>PREFIX</envar> is the prefix used when selecting
an installation target. The current default is /usr/local.
This results in binary installation into /usr/bin,
library installation into /usr/wine/lib, and so forth.
This value can be overridden by the packager.
In fact, <ulink url="http://www.pathname.com/fhs/">FHS 2.2</ulink>
specifications suggest that a better
prefix is /opt/wine. Ideally, a packager would also
allow the installer to override this value.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem id=ETCDIR><para id=etcdir.id><EnVar>ETCDIR</EnVar></para>
<para>
<envar>ETCDIR</envar> is the prefix that Wine uses
to find the global configuration directory.
This can be changed by the configure option sysconfdir.
The current default is $prefix/etc.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem id=WINDOWSDIR><para id=windowsdir.id><EnVar>WINDOWSDIR</EnVar></para>
<para>
<envar>WINDOWSDIR</envar> is an important concept
to Wine. This directory specifies what directory
corresponds to the root Windows directory
(e.g. C:\WINDOWS).
</para>
<para>
This directory is specified by the user, in
the user's <link linkend=winerc>configuration file</link>.
</para>
<para>
Generally speaking, this directory is either set
to point at an empty directory, or it is set
to point at a Windows partition that has been
mounted through the vfat driver.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis>It is extremely important that the packager
understand the importance of <envar>WINDOWSDIR</envar>
and convey this information and choice to the end
user</emphasis>.
</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
</sect1>
</chapter>
<chapter id="pkg-introduction"> <title>Introduction</title>
<para>
This document attempts to establish guidelines
for people making binary packages of Wine.
</para>
<para>
It expresses the basic principles that the
Wine developers have agreed should be
used when building Wine.
It also attempts to highlight the areas
where there are different approaches
to packaging Wine, so that the packager
can understand the different alternatives
that have been considered and their rationales.
</para>
<sect1 id="pkg-goals"> <title>Goals</title>
<para>
An installation from a Wine package should:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
Install quickly and simply.
</para>
<para>
The initial installation should require no user
input. An <command>rpm -i wine.rpm</command>
or <command>apt-get install wine</command>
should suffice for initial installation.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Work quickly and simply
</para>
<para>
The user should be able to launch Solitaire
within minutes of downloading the Wine package.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Comply with Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
</para>
<para>
A Wine installation should, as much as possible, comply
with the
<ulink url="http://www.pathname.com/fhs/">FHS standard</ulink>.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Preserve flexibility
</para>
<para>
None of the flexibility built into Wine should
be hidden from the end user.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Come as preconfigured as possible, so the user does
not need to change any configuration files.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Use only as much diskspace as needed per user.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Reduce support requirements.
</para>
<para>
A packaged version of Wine should be sufficiently easy
to use and have quick and easy access to FAQs and
documentation such that requests to the
newsgroup and development group go down.
Further, it should be easy for users to capture
good bug reports.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="pkg-requirements"> <title>Requirements</title>
<para>
Successfully installing Wine requires:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Much thought and work from the packager (1x)</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
A configuration file
</para>
<para>
Wine will not run without a configuration file. Wine provides a
a sample config file and it can be found in /usr/share/doc/wine/samples.
Some packagers may attempt to provide (or dynamically generate) a default configuration
file. Some packagers may wish to rely on winesetup to generate the configuration file.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
A writeable <filename>C:\</filename> directory
structure on a per-user basis. Applications do dump
<filename>.ini</filename> files into
<filename>c:\windows</filename>, installers dump
<filename>.exe</filename>, <filename>.dll</filename>
and more into <filename>c:\windows</filename> and
subdirectories or into <filename>C:\Program Files</filename>.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
An initial set of registry entries.
</para>
<para>
The current Wine standard is to use the regedit tool
against the 'winedefault.reg' file to generate
a default registry.
</para>
<para>
The current preferred method of configuring/installing
Wine is to run /toos/wineinstall.
There are several other choices that could be made;
registries can be imported from a Windows partition.
At this time, Wine does not completely support
a complex multi-user installation ala Windows NT,
but it could fairly readily.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Some special <filename>.dll</filename> and
<filename>.exe</filename> files in the
<filename>windows\system</filename> directory, since
applications directly check for their presence.

<para>
At the time of this writing, almost all of the following components
are installed through a standard 'make install'
of Wine. Exceptions from the rule are noted.
<caution>

(not getting installed via make install)
A wine wrapper shell script that intelligently handles
wine invocation by informing the user about what's going
on, among other things.
To be found in tools/ directory.
Use of this wrapper script instead of directly using wine
is strongly encouraged, as it not only improves the user
interface, but also adds important functionality to wine,
such as session bootup/startup actions.
If you intend to use this script, then you might want to
rename the wine executable to e.g. wine.bin and
winelauncher to wine.

(just like the Add/Remove Programs item in Windows)
by taking the registry uninstall strings that get created
by installers such as InstallShield or WISE.
In binary packages, it should probably be renamed
to something like wine-uninstaller for consistency's sake.

<para>Registry Files</para>
<para>
In order to replicate the Windows registry system,
Wine stores registry entries in a series of files.
For an excellent overview of this issue, read
this
<ulink url="http://www.winehq.com/News/2000-25.html#FTR">
Wine Weekly News feature.</ulink>
</para>
<para>
The bottom line is that, at Wine server startup,
Wine loads all registry entries into memory
to create an in memory image of the registry.
The order of files which Wine uses to load
registry entries is extremely important,
as it affects what registry entries are
actually present. The order is roughly that
.dat files from a Windows partion are loaded,
then global registry settings from <link linkend=ETCDIR endterm=etcdir.id></link>,
and then finally local registry settings are
loaded from <link linkend=WINECONFDIR endterm=wineconfdir.id></link>
. As each set are loaded,
they can override the prior entries. Thus,
the local registry files take precedence.
</para>
<para>
Then, at exit (or at periodic intervals),
Wine will write either all registry entries
(or, with the default setting) changed
registry entries to files in the
<link linkend=WINECONFDIR endterm=wineconfdir.id></link>.
</para>

<sect1 id="pkg-winpartition"><title>Important Files from a Windows Partition</title>
<para>
Wine has the ability to use files from an installation of the
actual Microsoft Windows operating system. Generally these
files are loaded on a VFAT partition that is mounted
under Linux.
</para>
<para>
This is probably the most important configuration detail.
The use of Windows registry and DLL files dramatically
alters the behaviour of Wine. If nothing else,
pacakager have to make this distinction clear
to the end user, so that they can intelligently
choose their configuration.

</chapter>
<chapter id="pkg-strategy"><title id=strategy.id>Packaging Strategies</title>
<para>
There has recently been a lot of discussion on the Wine
development mailing list about the best way to
build Wine packages.
</para>
<para>
There was a lot of discussion, and several diverging
points of view. This section of the document
attempts to present the areas of common agreement,
and also to present the different approaches
advocated on the mailing list.
</para>
<sect1 id="pkg-whatfiles"><title>Distribution of Wine into packages</title>
<para>
The most basic question to ask is given the Wine CVS tree,
what physical files are you, the packager, going to produce?
Are you going to produce only a wine.rpm (as Marcus has done),
or are you going to produce 6 Debian files
(libwine, libwine-dev, wine, wine-doc, wine-utils and winesetuptk) as
Ove has done?
</para>
<para>
At this point, there is no consensus
amongst the wine-devel community on this subject.
</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="pkg-wherefiles"><title>Where to install files</title>
<para>
This question is not really contested. It will vary
by distribution, and is really up to the packager.
As a guideline, the current 'make install' process
seems to behave such that
if we pick a single <link linkend=PREFIX endterm=prefix.id></link>,
then :
</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
all <link linkend=binfiles>binary files</link> go into
<link linkend=PREFIX endterm=prefix.id></link>$PREFIX/bin,
</para>

all <link linkend=libfiles>library files</link> go into

<para>
and <link linkend=manfiles>man pages</link> go into
<link linkend=PREFIX endterm=prefix.id></link>$PREFIX/share/man,
</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>
Refer to the specific information on the Debian package
and the OpenLinux package for specific details on how
those packages are built.
</para>
<para>
You might also want to use the wine wrapper script winelauncher
that can be found in tools/ directory, as it has several important
advantages over directly invoking the wine binary.
See the <link linkend=binfiles>Executable Files</link> section
for details.
</para>
<sect2 id=opt><title>The question of /opt/wine</title>
<para>
The FHS 2.2 specification suggests that Wine as a package
should be installed to /opt/wine. None of the
existing packages follow this guideline (today;
check again tomorrow).
</para>
</sect2>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="pkg-whattomake"><title>What files to create</title>
<para>
After installing the static and shareable files, the next
question the packager needs to ask is how much dynamic
configuration will be done, and what configuration
files should be created.
</para>
<para>
There are several approaches to this:
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
Rely completely on user file space - install nothing
</para>
<para>
This approach relies upon the new winesetup utility and
the new ability of Wine to launch winesetup if no configuration file is found.
The basic concept is that no global configuration files
are created at install time.
Instead, Wine configuration files are created on the
fly by the winesetup program when Wine is invoked.
Further, winesetup creates default Windows directories
and paths that are stored completely in
the user's <link linkend=WINECONFDIR endterm=wineconfdir.id></link>.
</para>
<para>
This approach has the benefit of simplicity in that all
Wine files are either stored under /opt/wine or under
~/.wine. Further, there is only ever one Wine
configuration file.
</para>
<para>
This approach, however, adds another level of complexity.
It does not allow Wine to run Solitaire 'out of the box';
the user must run the configuration program first. Further,
winesetup requires Tcl/Tk, a requirement not beloved by some.
Additionally, this approach closes the door on multi
user configurations and presumes a single user approach.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Build a reasonable set of defaults for the global wine.conf,
facilitate creation of a user's local Wine configuration.
</para>
<para>
This approach, best shown by Marcus, causes the
installation process to auto scan the system,
and generate a global wine.conf file with best
guess defaults. The OpenLinux packages follow
this behaviour.
</para>
<para>
The keys to this approach are always putting
an existing Windows partition into the
path, and being able to run Solitaire
right out of the box.
Another good thing that Marcus does is he
detects a first time installation and
does some clever things to improve the
user's Wine experience.
</para>
<para>
A flaw with this approach, however, is it doesn't
give the user an obvious way to choose not to
use a Windows partition.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Build a reasonable set of defaults for the global wine.conf,
and ask the user if possible
</para>
<para>
This approach, demonstrated by Ove, causes the
installation process to auto scan the system,
and generate a global wine.conf file with best
guess defaults. Because Ove built a Debian
package, he was able to further query debconf and
get permission to ask the user some questions,
allowing the user to decide whether or not to
use a Windows partition.

<filename>/opt/wine/</filename> or similar). The
configuration files (<filename>wine.conf</filename>,
<filename>wine.userreg</filename>,
<filename>wine.systemreg</filename>) are targeted for
<filename>/etc/wine/</filename> (rationale: FHS 2.2,
multiple readonly configuration files of a package).

Note that on Linux you should somehow try to add the

setup (!) files as hidden (ISO9660) on CD-ROMs, which
will greatly confuse users as they won't find their
setup files on the CD-ROMs as they were used on
Windows systems when <option>unhide</option> is not
set ;-\ And of course the setup program will complain
that <filename>setup.ins</filename> or some other mess
is missing... If you choose to do so, then please make
this change verbose to the admin.
Also make sure that the kernel you use includes the Joliet

%description
While Wine is usually thought of as a Windows(TM) emulator, the Wine
developers would prefer that users thought of Wine as a Windows
compatibility layer for UNIX. This package includes a program loader,
which allows unmodified Windows 3.1/95/NT binaries to run under Intel
Unixes. Wine does not require MS Windows, but it can use native system
.dll files if they are available.

Wine directory structure used in Red Hat Linux:
===============================================
%{_datadir}/wine-c is the root directory (aka C: drive) wine looks for
by default. It contains (empty) C:\windows and C:\windows\system
directories, needed to operate Wine without an existing Windows installation.
If you want to use Wine with an existing Windows installation that is mounted,
for example, in /mnt/windows-c, edit /etc/wine.conf to say
[Drive C]
Path=/mnt/windows-c
Type=hd
Label=Whatever
Filesystem=win95
instead of the defaults set by installation.
If you do this, you can safely remove %{_datadir}/wine-c.
(Alternatively, just mount your Windows partition to %{_datadir}/wine-c.)

Instead, wineconf should be improved to generate
the new style config file, and then winesetup should
rely on wineconf to generate the default
configuration file.
</para>
<para>
Similarly, there is functionality such as creating
the default registry files that is now done by
both winesetup and wineinstall.
</para>
<para>
At this time, it seems like the right thing to do
is to break up or parameterize wineinstall, so that
it can be used for single function actions,
and then have winesetup call those functions.

Enhance winesetup to support W: drive generation.
</para>
<para>
The best practices convention now seems to be
to generate a set of drives from M: through W:.
At this point, winesetup does not generate
a default wine config file that follows
these conventions. It should.

Enhance Wine to allow more dynamic switching

Write a winelauncher utility application.
</para>
<para>
Currently, Wine really requires a user to launch it
from a command line, so that the user can look for
error messages and warnings. However, eventually, we will
want users to be able to launch Wine from a more
friendly GUI launcher. The launcher should have the
ability to allow the end user to turn on debugging
messages and capture those traces for bug reporting
purposes. Also, if we make it possible to
switch between use of a Windows partition or not
automatically, that option should be controlled here.

Get Marcus's winesetup facilities into CVS
</para>
<para>
Along the lines of the changes to winesetup,
and the consolidation of wineconf and wineinstall,
we should extract the good stuff from Marcus's
winesetup script, and get it into CVS.
Again, perhaps we should have a set of scripts
that perform discrete functions, or maybe
one script with parameters.

This document is pretty rough itself. Many hard
