Freedom Issue #366
[winetricks-libre] Patched and Ported from winetricks community
100%
Description
Hello,
I
noticed winetricks is not in any of our repositories. This is likely
due to it suggesting many non-free additions to wine. It is however
quite useful for free alternatives such as mono and for maintaining a
clean wine prefix as it does all of this with a nice GUI for the user.
The original package is here:
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/winetricks/
Attached is my version which contains 90% or more of the non-free
compononents removed.
I am unsure about the fonts, so if someone could look over that section
it should be safe to include in [libre].
TODOS: It would be nice to find working GPL substitutions for the
benchmark and games category in this script. Although such substitutions
can actually be done up-stream rather than just in this package.
Enjoy! :)

can you create a 100% of your version to create a -libre version of this package? it could be good to put on libre, but i need a complete file to create a pkgbuild with your file.

Here's a version at least 99% complete. All fonts removed since they can use native fonts on Parabola.
Also removed Firefox, OpenWatcom, and MacOSX only stuff.
The only remaining concern is Cygwin (is this fully free?). I'm seeing GPLv3, but it is an entire virtual distro of sorts.

Removed: GLUT, MediaPlayerClassic-HomeCinnema (uses unrar), Cygwin (suggests non-free components), Slysoft (not even opensource)
Tagged all current downloads offered with their licenses via comments.

Decided to sync with upstream since they've done a number of improvements recently.
There's not much left to it other than the tweaks, but it's good to go.I had to take large chunks of non-free stuff out since they added support for Steam, Spotify, and other proprietary software. :(

Current code attached is 100%, all the way down to replacing their open urls with FireFox to use IceWeasel instead.
I also added a wikipage and used it to replace the built-in help page which suggests installing non-free version and installing more non-free packages.

could you create a git project (scripts, readme file, etc) about winetricks-libre like paxd-libre project? it's important because is more pratical to maintain future versions on Parabola
