Responding to further user feedback... :-) Updates to README: * supply a simplified updater script (no comments / streamlined) that is easy to setup, for new users * credit to @kenorb for suggesting the use of curl (replacing use of: wget) * curl / install commands+options are available cross-platform on Linux / FreeBSD * note: `winetricks --self-update` is **not** the same - this will only update to a newer release and will not update the bash.completion script Fixes: Winetricks#1192 Signed-off-by: Rob Walker <bob.mt.wya@gmail.com>

Honestly |

I agree with @qwertychouskie, I can't think of any reason why bash-completion shouldn't be updated, particularly since it would require no user effort and just a few lines of code. @bobwya do you have strong reason for NOT updating bash-completion? |
|
@austin987 well my proposed changes do update the winetricks bash-completion script as well. I've nothing against imrpoving the --self-update option or adding a --self-install. The instructions in the README are always going to have to include a manual download of winetricks (due to folks running obsolete versions) - so they aren't going to get much simpler... At least with the proposed changes - really just an iterative improvement - they will be simpler to follow. |
|
@bobwya The idea with That way there is no dependency on any installed version of Winetricks, or lack thereof. |
|
Technically you've not invalidated my point (since your are manually downloading winetricks). But yes that is a nice one liner! |
