Bug ID: 59079 Summary: Debian Trixie: wine-devel package lacks ntsync support with linux-image-amd64/trixie-backports Product: Packaging Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: wine-packages Assignee: wine-bugs@list.winehq.org Reporter: actium@gmx.net CC: dimesio@earthlink.net Distribution: ---
The WineHQ packaged wine-devel 10.20 for Debian 13 "Trixie" lacks ntsync support, because Trixie's LTS kernel 6.12 predates the ntsync merge and thus ntsync.h is missing. However, trixie-backports currently ships Linux 6.17 with ntsync [1]. Alternatively, the ntsync kernel module is trivial to build with DKMS [2].
While retrofitting kernel-side ntsync is easy on Trixie, adding it to wine itself requires building from source. Wine users would benefit from ntsync-ready WineHQ binary packages, as they would facilitate ntsync access. This would only require including ntsync.h when building the WineHQ packages for Trixie.
