Request: Wine 20050524

[hussam]

There's wine 20050524(or something like that ) in debian testing.
Can you guys please backport this from Debian repositories?

That verson can be found from the main site, add this to /etc/apt/sources.list

#wine
deb http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ binary/
deb-src http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ source/

[hussam]

thanks I did that. Worked properly. :)

Cool, but that source is abit random with its updates.

If you can't find a deb though:
http://winecvs.linux-gamers.net/index.php/Main_Page
that cvs script is better wine at following wine updates... also has stuff lke the dx9 builds.

I haven't tried it yet, and perhaps I won't (my Wine works quite nicely as it is), but they seem to have Ubuntu repositories as well? I tested

deb http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ hoary/

in my source list, which updated, and prompted upgrades for wine, libwine, and winetools. There are Warty and Breezy folders too. Are there drawbacks of using those instead?

I don't know too much about wine but thought it was good that they had hoary packages, however it seems that it's a bare bones version of wine. What about various packages like libwinegl for opengl support and libwine-alsa etc. Is it ok to mix match these? Are those others not usually updated along with the core packages?

I was going to install this updated version but I think I'll hold off til I know more.

There's two flavors of wine packages:

1) WineHQ's APT repo at wine.sf.net
2) Traditional Debian

I've been using 1) for all the Warty Backports versions , because 2 has been outdated for quite a while. However, Hoary's making a comeback with 2, so I've kept with it. They both are the same WINE, just packaged differently. WineHQ's version put all the libwine-* into the main package.
