<![CDATA[Zero_Dogg]]> 2012-02-26T13:30:16+01:00 http://blog.zerodogg.org// Octopress <![CDATA[wwine 0.2 released]]> 2012-04-14T15:00:00+02:00 http://blog.zerodogg.org//2012/04/14/wwine-0-dot-2-released I’ve just released wwine 0.2. It adds support for the new Crossover 11.0 release, which changes some of the paths and needs a bit of additional magic to use. It also has some improvements to the wrapper scripts it generates, primarily through a new and more robust metadata header.

The most interesting new feature however, is the addition of the –env and –tricks parameters. –env causes wwine to set the WINE and WINEPREFIX variables to the syntax used by vanilla wine, this allows various wine scripts that use those to be able to run using wwine’s bottles, as well as with crossover. The most interesting use of this is the ability to use winetricks with Crossover. This effectively lets you use Crossover as any other wine release, while still using Crossover’s bottles. So if you have winetricks and Crossover installed, you need only run ‘wwine -w cx -b BOTTLE –tricks ACTION’ to use winetricks with Crossover.

Octopress is “A blogging framework for hackers”. It’s based on jekyll, a ruby framework for generating static websites. What sold me on it is the ability to use the best blog-writing client available, a normal shell along with vim. Blog posts are written in markdown (by default), the source is in git, and it comes with rake targets for creating new posts, building it and deploying it.

As this should make it a lot easier to write posts, I’m hoping that it just might make me post more often.
