Summary: upgrading wine tracks all files in the fake C directory
Product: Codex
Version: test grimoire
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: x11-libs
AssignedTo: x11 AT sourcemage.org

This is both a good and bad issue. But when upgrading wine, all files in the
fake C directory are tracked. So if you install wine, install some windows
apps
lets say 5gb worth of games, then upgrade wine, all those games are now
tracked
by sorcery.

Potential problems with this:
1. that 5gb worth of windows apps are added to the install cache.
Possible fix is to add an 'ARCHIVE="off"' setting in DETAILS, but I'm not
sure I
want to cause people to recompile wine when that takes me at least 2 hrs, vs a
simple resurect which would take a few minutes.
2. If you uninstall the windows apps, cast --fix will break causing wine to
recompile even though wine itself is perfectly okay.

I've added a few people CC to get their comments on this problem.
