           Summary: Homebrew packages deprecated; will be disabled Q3 2026
           Product: Packaging

          Hardware: aarch64
                OS: MacOS
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

Created attachment 79641
  --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=79641
Full output of `brew info wine-stable`

The wine packages on Homebrew (`wine-stable`, `wine(a)devel`, `wine(a)staging`) are
currently deprecated, and will be disabled in the future.

The exact message provided by `brew info` is "Deprecated because it does not
pass the macOS Gatekeeper check! It will be disabled on 2026-09-01."

The dependency `gstreamer-runtime` also has this issue with the same message,
though I do not know if or how this is related.

Hi,

I've also installed Wine via Homebrew. This also is suggested in the official
docs: https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/wikis/MacOS

I'm getting the warning: "Deprecated because it does not pass the macOS
Gatekeeper check! It will be disabled on 2026-09-01."

I guess this is because the wine binaries are not code signed:
