      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).

        Those terms are described here.

                <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>
                <envar>PREFIX</envar> is the prefix used when selecting
                an installation target.  The current default is /usr.
                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 2.1</ulink>
                specifications suggest that a better
                prefix is /opt/wine.  Ideally, a packager would also
                allow the installer to override this value.

                <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 /etc.

                <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>
                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.

        This document attempts to establish guidelines
        for people making binary packages of Wine.

    <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.

                The initial installation should require no user
                input.  An rpm -i wine.rpm or apt-get install wine

              documentation such that requests to the
              newsgroup and development group go down.
              Further, it should be easy for users to capture

                    to compile Windows style resource files
                    into a form usable by Wine.

                    A Winelib program to uninstall installed Windows programs.
                    To be found in the programs/ source directory.
                    This program can be used to uninstall most Windows programs
                    (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.

                    file if they need to.  An argument has been
                    made that the local configuration file
                    should inherit the global configuration file.

                <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>.

        <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.

        <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.

        <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.

        <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>,

        <sect2 id=opt><title>The question of /opt/wine</title>
        <para>
        The FHS 2.1 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).

        <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>

                <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>
                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.

<chapter id="pkg-todo"><Title>Work to be done</title>

    <para>
    In preparing this document, it became clear that there were
    still a range of action items to be done in Wine
    that would improve this packaging process.
    For lack of a better place, I record them here.
    <emphasis>This list is almost certain to be obsolete;
    check bugzilla for a better list.</emphasis>
    </para>

    <orderedlist>
        <listitem>
            <para>
            Remove duplication of code between winesetup and
            wineconf/wineinstall.
            </para>
            <para>
            Currently, winesetup duplicates all of the code contained
            in wineconf.
            </para>
            <para>
            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.
            </para>
        </listitem>

        <listitem>
            <para>
            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.
            </para>
        </listitem>

        <listitem>
            <para>
            Enhance Wine to allow more dynamic switching
            between the use of a real Windows partition
            and an empty one.
            </para>

            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.
            </para>

            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.
