  • Wine 7.0-rc1 Released With Last Minute Changes - Phoronix

    Following last week's Wine 6.23 development release, Wine 7.0-rc1 was just declared in marking the end of feature development and beginning preparations for issuing Wine 7.0.0 stable in January.

    Per the Wine 7.0 release planning, Wine 7.0-rc1 was issued today to mark the feature freeze and begin what will be weekly release candidates. Those weekly release candidates will continue until Wine 7.0 is determined to be ready to officially released. Current plans and what has happened in prior years with the same annual release cadence means that stable release should be out sometime in January.

  • Wayland driver development - December 2021 update and next steps
    Hi everyone!

Since the last Wayland driver update [1] a lot of work has been done to
improve the functionality and stability of the Wine Wayland driver, and
to provide a cleaner and more reviewable/upstreamable patchset. The
driver has now reached a point where it would benefit from wider
community testing.

In the mailing list discussions earlier this year it was recommended
that we go through wine-staging as a stepping stone towards upstream. To
this end, I have prepared a patchset and attached it to the existing bug
for a Wayland driver, as per the wine-staging guidelines, at:

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42284

This is intended to be an active patchset, meaning that it will receive
updates regularly, as feedback is received and issues are fixed.
Development will continue in the development branch (currently at [2])
which will be used as the canonical source for any updated patchsets for
wine-staging.

The vast majority (but not all) of the commits in the series affect only
the driver itself. However, there is still a lot of surface area, mostly
in terms of interfaces used to interact with Wine core, that could lead
to broken code when upstream is updated. This has been more pronounced
the last few weeks with the various changes in the driver interface.

I will be tracking upstream and providing updated patchsets as needed
and as timely as I can. I want to make sure that this patchset will not
cause undue burden on the wine-staging maintainers. However, if the
maintainers feel that this patchset will make life difficult for them, I
am open to different ideas about how to move this driver towards upstream.

A related question now that holiday season is approaching: what happens
if a wine-staging patch breaks due to an upstream change, such that it
requires intervention from the original author, but this is not provided
in time for the next release? Is the patchset disabled for that
wine-staging release and re-enabled when fixed? Let me stress again that
my aim is to track upstream and respond in a timely manner, but
sometimes this is not possible, and I want to be clear about how the
situation is handled.
  • Wine's Wayland Driver Continues Maturing, Aims To Go Through Wine-Staging - Phoronix

    While it won't make it for the upcoming Wine 7.0, the Wayland driver for natively supporting this X11 successor continues maturing and in the not too distant future will hopefully begin receiving more widespread testing via Wine-Staging.

    Alexandros Frantzis has been leading the effort on the Wayland Wine driver to allow for Windows games/applications to run on Wayland compositors without having to go through XWayland. Much progress has been made and now Vulkan and other features are working.

    In this tutorial, we are going to explore how to install go on Ubuntu 22.04 Golang is an open-source programming language that is easy to learn and use. It is built-in concurrency and has a robust standard library. It is reliable, builds fast, and efficient software that scales fast. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel-type systems enable flexible and modular program constructions. Go compiles quickly to machine code and has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. In this guide, we are going to learn how to install golang 1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04. Go 1.19beta1 is not yet released. There is so much work in progress with all the documentation.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
