Would the same apply for POM? Hi, The patchs come normally from the WineHQ Website, but I can't certify about that because this is done totally automatically. When a user of POL want a patched version he should provide a .zip with all patchs needed, on which official Wine release patch will be applied and finally the name. That's all. (http://www.playonlinux.com/en/topic-3718-WineBuild_Demand.html) I know that the POL-Wine-1.2.1-ddraw include a patch found on the Worms World Party page from WineHQ AppDB (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3905). Currently there this tools is used only by the team so it can be possible to ask your team where they found patches, if they remember. When the end-user install a patched Wine he must accept that this release of Wine contain some changes from the original version, and that neither WineHQ nor POL can help if problems any occurs. It should work better than without and thats why we applied this patch, but there is no warranty, Bugs can't be reported on WineHQ as this is not an official build and nobody on the PlayOnLinux team have enough level to find the origin of the problems. If Wine made a new release of Wine that made the patched version unnecessary we switch to this release. About POM this is the same, except that this is qparis (Tinou) that manage this, no Mac in my hand. Aymeric. -- MulX (IRL: Aymeric) || PlayOnLinux dev-team!
