Which approach is more preferable for wine > devs? For the bugs in the list? Or your personal bugs? For bugs in the list, it's automatically selected by bugs that haven't been touched in 3 months or more (roughly 6 releases). For your personal bugs, that's up to you, but I'd say at least every 3 versions or so. Each version of wine has several hundred patches, so there's always a chance your bug is fixed. Of course, wine is a huge project so several hundred patches can easily be committed and not touch the area of code needed. But as they say...the squeakiest wheel gets the grease... -- -Austin
