So what's the consensus here? What is the preferred method for Distros that don't even provide the package? An official statement for end users that want to use Wine-Mono (for whatever reasons) from Wine-Mono maintainers would be helpful. Does libgluezilla/Gecko backend still have a future?
$ wine --version wine-4.6-111-g0664b062c6
