The plan is that winetricks should not be used for installing Gecko.
So you intentionally broke it?
No, I was actually fixing the bug that caused the downloader to crash as you
described. The downloader was *accidentally* broken some time ago and then
I've decided that we need a better solution. That's why it was broken for a
while. I didn't want to fix something that is broken by design.
Perhaps the downloader/installer could be automated? E.g., currently, doing:
$ rm -rf ~/.wine ; wineboot
brings up the installer, where the user only clicks install, nothing
else. Could an automated option be added, say:
$ wine iexplore.exe -install_gecko
that way winetricks can still install it for users quickly and
painlessly, without having to mess with sudo/etc.?
When you run iexplore, wineprefix has to be created first, so it won't
work unless we'd add some sort of environment variable, but I don't see
the point. How would it be better than current solution?
