Wine 1.0 is here! And since the previous download page got cluttered, here's a new download page!

As always, be sure to have the latest version of Xquartz installed. It's just an updated version of X11, so if it's not up to date, its not the biggest deal in the world. But there's usually bugfixes in there that you want to have.

If you want to stay up to date with Darwine, here's an appcast/rss feed for it.

Downloads:

Development (Unstable) build of Darwine 1.1.0 for Leopard, with Freetype 2.3.6 and FontForge py25-20080607.

WebKit is the foundation to Apple's web services. It's an integral part of Safari and is Open Source. As a result of this (Or because of this? Maybe there's no relation at all..) the WebKit team frequently posts nightly builds of the latest WebKit sources online for anyone to run and try out. However there isn't any official way to automatically update WebKit to the latest available version.

I personally like to have the latest of everything whenever possible, so not being able to automatically update WebKit annoyed me. So, as a result, here's a quick bash script that I've hacked together to update to the latest WebKit build.

The script runs at 7am every day, as I'm usually asleep by then so it works out pretty well. If this isn't a good time for you (I'm aware some people wake up at 7am for whatever reason..) go to the plist example that's linked to below the bash script and change the 7 in 7 to whatever time works best for you.

Additionally, the script logs which WebKit build was downloaded and what build got replaced in ~/Library/Logs/WebKitUpdate.log.  You can just view this in Console.app though.

Save the following bash script as webkitupdate.sh and place it in /Library/Scripts/

	if [ -d "$WEBKIT_BACKUP_LOCATION" ]; then

	echo "Downloading WebKit-r""$WEBKIT_NIGHTLY_BUILT_VERSION"" now"
	curl -LOs "http://nightly.webkit.org/files/trunk/mac/WebKit-SVN-r"\
		$WEBKIT_NIGHTLY_BUILT_VERSION".dmg"
else
  #Stop Commmenting here --^
#Also uncomment the next line if you dont back WebKit up
#	rm -rf /Applications/WebKit.app
	echo "Downloading WebKit-r""$WEBKIT_NIGHTLY_BUILT_VERSION"" now"
	curl -LOs "http://nightly.webkit.org/files/trunk/mac/WebKit-SVN-r"\
		$WEBKIT_NIGHTLY_BUILT_VERSION".dmg"
fi
 
#Install WebKit
hdiutil attach -quiet "$WEBKIT_TEMP_INSTALL_LOCATION"/WebKit-SVN-r"\
	$WEBKIT_NIGHTLY_BUILT_VERSION".dmg
cp -R /Volumes/WebKit/WebKit.app /Applications/
hdiutil detach -quiet /Volumes/WebKit
rm -rf "$WEBKIT_TEMP_INSTALL_LOCATION"/
echo "WebKit build " $WEBKIT_NIGHTLY_BUILT_VERSION " replaced build "\
 	$WEBKIT_INSTALLED_VERSION " on " `date` >> \
		$HOME/Library/Logs/WebKitUpdate.log

And the plist needed can be downloaded here. Just ctrl + click and "Save As.." and move it to /Library/LaunchAgents. You can also download the script here and just place it in /Library/Scripts.

I've been building Darwine for a couple months now - since June 2007 or so! Since then, I've been running a stats program and figured I'd share some interesting results; Download totals, Bandwidth used, etc. I put it all in a nice Numbers spreadsheet and here's what came out: (There were more stats - browser popularity, OS popularity, etc - but I messed the script that goes through the stat logs up and the data got mangled and isn't really accurate. I fixed it for a few of the more interesting things though.)

*Note, all data amounts are given in Gigabytes, not Gigabits.

**Bandwidth Used / Day is the average of all the months, not the total added up.

Some things to note are that although the overall download total decreased in February, the amount of bandwidth used is greater then in January. Also, the # of distinct or individual hosts that downloaded Darwine is greater in February then in January despite the two day difference.

So what this all means? 56,000+ Downloads for Darwine. Wow. That's way, way more then I ever imagined when deciding to start compiling Darwine on a random whim. Also, there's a definite distinction between when the inclusion of an installer occurred (early December) and prior months.

That pretty much ends my few minutes of awe over stats - not that the stats are a huge amount, but its decently sized enough for me to be in awe If anyone has other stats / relations they want me to look at (or pretty graph requests to stare at), let me know and I'll try and get back to you
