Wine

Would a dev like to enlighten me on why Debian and Ubuntu WINE are still so dated? Is anything a show-stopper in 200409xx?

According to apt-cache show wine, ovek at arcticnet dot no seems to be the maintainer. One approach might be a (polite) question via email.

About Wine, does it actually work?

I mean for new games, most games? What is the performance hit?

[randy]

For games you'll probably want to go with winex. I don't think regular wine does directx all that well.

WineX made my installation of Warcraft 3 a breeze.

It is a bit slower than in Windows, but at least it works. The videos, the installer, everything.

Convinced that 200409xx+ have some fixes that I need for my USFIRST robotics project (msvcrt.dll fixes), I am building my own debs for WINE. I started by patching 20040716 onto 20041019... 2 rejects, very simple to fix.


Now, I'm building the package. If it works, I'll upload it to my Sourceforge project.

FAILED build #1: wineclipsrv no longer a binary (??), forgot to do a version bump.


fixed and rebuilding now...

[jdong]

built and tested to work! Now, uploading ~20MB to SF, will give link once completed

wine-20041019 debs!

[elempoimen]

Thank you so much! I was hoping someone had put together an updated debian package. I don't have enough disk space on my system to compile Wine. :( I did have an unresolved dependency with libwine-arts and glibc. It wanted >=2.5.5 and I have 2.4.7-1 installed. Also, I had to install the older build of winesetuptk.

[jdong]

well, since it was newer than Debian SID Wine, I purposely built it for Hoary.

what about the "winesetuptk"? You have to add the old wine setup pkg via SPM. After install all packages should be listed in SPM.

Hey everyone.

I've updated my wine packages. They're the official winehq Debian/Ubuntu ones now, since the Debian main ones were so out of date and rather needlessly broken up and complex. By monday the winehq.org website should contain updated instructions for how to get them.

The apt repository we setup is here:
deb http://wine.sourceforge.net/Ubuntu/apt/ binary/
deb-src http://wine.sourceforge.net/Ubuntu/apt/ source/

winesetuptk is completely deprecated and actually breaks stuff in wine now. The package is obsolete. That's why the new wine package above replaces it.

Hi, would it be possible for you to mirror the wine-20041019 version? The December one screws up IE toolbar icons...

Ah, you're in luck, I made those a while ago.

The problem is, I can't put them in the same apt repository, as APT will only show the latest packages from a given repository.


You can download the old package by hand from here: http://tuzakey.com/~scott/apt/binary/
