compiled my own .9.37 with the KAD patches.. works perfectly, also seems to run much much faster. (or seems to be, compared to the wine devs .deb build)

soo

soo anyone who can't (or wont) compile there own , ive got a .deb with the KAD patches, if anyone wants it.

ta.

gav616, is that a proper debianized wine package or just a .deb bundle ?

still pretty new to linux soo kind of don't 100% get what you meen, but i install all the dependencies to compile wine source, then used the guide on here to compile, then at the end used 'sudo checkinstall -D' instead of 'sudo make install' to create a .deb.

theres no system tray support for emule with wine yet, heres a temp solution;

install Alltray

sudo apt-get install alltray

create a file named 'anything.sh' in the emule.exe directory

edit the file so 'alltray' opens emule.exe and displays a nice icon i.e.

#!/bin/sh
cd /storage/eMule
alltray --show -i emule.gif wine emule.exe

save, close and give it permission to execute

chmod +x whatever.sh

now run the '.sh' file from a menu;
Name: eMule
Command: /storage/eMule/runemule.sh

or run through terminal;
$ cd /storage/eMule/
$ sh runemule.sh

More info on alltray commands

example;

A proper debianized package complies with the Debian Policy, and offers all the benefits of apt package management (Depends, Recommends, etc). OTOH checkinstall is sort of a hack to get a .deb bundle that you can quickly install or remove.

I think debianization is a lenghtier process, look at this doc. However I think that if we build the source using apt, then we can re-use proper debianization from 0.9.33, making it much simpler. I intend to try this, sooner or later, that's why I asked you which way you were doing that.

However, I don't have an idea how much interest there is for a fixed Wine (less than I expected, anyway), so it'd be just a way to get to know more about debian innards rather than providing a service to a community.

Good tip. With your permission I'd like to add it to the HowTo (which is imminent now that Wine 0.9.38 has been released).

I have posted the 'proofs' only on 05/31, and haven't heard anything from Damjan since then; seemingly the patches applied succesfully on top of .38 source, so I would say nothing has changed.

[gav616]

most annoying bug for me, still, is;

Quote

If you notice that emule is using too much cpu power, go the the tranfer panel, right click , find (to open the find search box), or more generaly, open any other internal window (options etc), and the cpu usage should be reduced by 3 or more

i usually do this when leaving mule for a long time, i right click server window, open 'find'.. then send both windows (minimized) to workspace 2.

cpu% sticks to 5-10, when not doing this... cpu% is 40-60.

HowTo updated: Added links in Known Issues section to Keg of Beer's Kad bug patching HowTo and gav616's AllTray tip as well; also removed Wine bugs 7554 and 7685 which are now resolved in Wine 0.9.38.

Fix: Working patches exist but have not yet been accepted into Wine. Apply the latest patches attached to the bug report. Slightly Debian/Ubuntu-centric patching instructions are given in this post.

The only Debian-centric detail that I'm aware of, is the choice of /usr/src to build the source. I'm going to add another, more neutral (?) way to build it, let me know if you have suggestions to make it better.

Don't forget this Debianism in step 6:

sudo apt-get remove wine

I'd also point out that the Debian way to do things is specifically illustrated a few times with no corresponding distro-neutral example, and sudo is being used for per-command superuser privileges (AFAIK Debian and Ubuntu are still the only major distros preaching this dubiously-beneficial practice ) instead of simply having the user log into a root shell with sudo -i or su -.

These are just minor points however, that's why I said the howto is slightly Debian-centric.

The reason behind that, is that I've only used Debian in all of linux life and I'm no *nix guru at all OTOH it seems that Alexander Julliard has finally merged the patches into the git version of Wine (which I'm currently testing), so the good news is that users might not need to build their own version very soon

is 6470 really a valid bug? I think it could be closed because emule crashes in windows trying to hash to many files at once.

[zorro2000]

In the new version of wine (0.9.39) the bug 5774 (udp traffic stop working after a time for dht/utorrent and kademlia/emule) is fixed. Kad is working very well.

Now, you dont't have to patch the sources manually. :thumbup:

ohh yeah! KAD only rules!

[mindpirate]

HowTo updated: Removed the now-unnecessary Configuring Wine section, and removed fixed Wine bug 5774 from Known Issues.

Go to My Controls, then under Options click Board Settings and you'll see the setting "Do you wish to view images in posts, such as smilies and posted images?".

It does seem with each upgrade of the forum software the settings pages get more complex and stuff is harder to find.

You're talking about the forum right?
