Create a way to easy create a Bug report for Wine.
Goal of this:
Get better quality of bug reports about failed installation
get more bug reports
Made it more easy for bug hunter to hunt bugs
A basic version of this wizard could be created and continuously enhanced along with analysing and some automatism like auto retry. A more distant goal could be to have a tool, that could prompt user what additional tools they may need to install to get a software working if it crash.
Idea for installation:
User do start a bug report
Chose: Enter download URL of the Application (preferred) or choose the Binary
Optional: Argument for starting the application (e.g. --silent, )
Optional: chose additional software needed (e.g. vc redist)
--> If possible autodetect needed additional software (e.g. auto retry install software if it crash because an additional software is needed --> require a silent installation)
Optional: enter filename that should be started if the installation was successful (record crashes on first start)
I'd prefer if they just make wine save a log file of the same thing you see in terminal when you run "wine game.exe". Most of the time the problems are caused by the game or software themselves, not by wine. So a proper and easy to find log (like ~/.wine/game.exe.log which is completely rewritten with new content, if you run "wine game.exe" more than once) would be the better thing.
My idea came from the point of view that most user do not use wine pure (PlayOnLinux, Bottles, Lutris, etc.). But to create bug reports, it is needed to have a clean environment. Also my proposal helps user to focus on the bugreport.
