Wine Stable's mantra is to not break currently running applications.
Regressions are a priority to fix and new regressions should not be added.
Thus a patch that fixes ten applications but breaks one application is a bad patch for Stable.

Scope of this Page

These rules are valid for:

Acceptable Patches for Wine Stable

Rules for patches going into Wine Stable:

  • It must be first accepted in the Development version (in exceptional cases it can come via Staging).
  • It must be tested (in 1-2 released Development or Staging versions).
  • It should be small.
  • It must fix a real bug in a real application.
  • Stubs must get an application to run (not to just crash later) and need a longer testing period in the wild.
  • It must fix a build issue, especially on distributions using Wine Stable.
  • Translation updates are in scope too.
