It is not clear what this original bug request is but it appears to be that the reporter wants test results for the latest stable version to be acceptable. Is this not the current practice?
In reply to comment #2: "Bug 16562 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug."
This request is somewhat different. The current list of acceptable versions is 1.0.1 (current stable) but then only the latest few betas are listed. There is a substantial gap from 1.0.1 to 1.1.6. The newest versions in the Debian repository is 1.1.1; which means that anyone with a Debian system must either downgrade their system to 1.0.1 or else go to sources outside of the Debian repository in order to be allowed to submit an application test report. The logic of this escapes me. If a test result using 1.0.1 is acceptable and a test result using 1.1.6 is acceptable, why is a test result using 1.1.1 (which is clearly in between these two versions) not acceptable?
Suggested solution...accept results for the current stable version and anything newer.
Isn't the primary purpose to create a database of as many apps as possible so that a user will have some information as to how well an app will run under wine? Restricting the acceptable wine test versions only detracts from this.
