hello,
I am currently running Ubuntu Studio v14.04 LTS and it comes with Wine v1.6.2. I would like to update Wine to v1.7.x since it now has better realtime support. This is important and relevant to me because I use Wine to run Reaper and FL Studio, which are digital audio workstation programs requiring better management of resources to prevent buffer underruns (or xruns, as people call them in Linux) to and from any audio interface. I am already having some limited success with Reaper on Wine v1.6.2 but the newer version of Wine has been specifically upgraded for the purposes of handling digital audio and VSTi virtual instruments.
My main computer doesn't have any internet access, and won't ever; it's too expensive in my area. I rely upon downloading from a laptop at a public library during weekdays.
When Debian archives are available, I'm able to download and install those. I tried to install some Debian archives of the new Wine from the KX Studio Repository on SourceForge, but both i386 files, one large and one small failed to install due to some vague message about unresolveable dependencies. If the Debian archives were just made available in a format appropriate for Ubuntu Studio, I think it would be a better solution, since KX Studio is a different distro and it has it's own issues. (I tried it and didn't like it; I prefer Ubuntu Studio).
Please let me know of somehow I can update my offline Digital Audio Workstation computer with the newest Wine with the RealTime patch, and/or perhaps a better location to try and download them from. My computer is an HP dc5800 Core2Duo, from around 2008 I think. It has an Intel dual core CPU.
Thanks in advance.
