[Bug 38926] WineHQ should build vanilla Wine binary packages of the biweekly releases for major distros

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38926

--- Comment #20 from Marcus Meissner  ---
The OBS was made for this kind of purpose, but as Michael writes it has some
issues.

- The OBS team import only stable distribution releases, handling of "in flux"
development distros is only there for openSUSE Factory due to the
administrative overhead.

- I once tried building Debian style packages, but failed as I am not
knowledgeable enough.

- The repository sync issues are however likely only transient, the
download.opensuse.org redirector is supposed only hand out mirrors that work.
If that does not work its a bug.

- OBS VMs are torn down and rebuilt after every package build, but the imported
distributions might have such file conflicts, needing manual workarounds during
build.

I can help with specific issues with OBS.

I agree with Roseanne, if there exist reliably biweekly builds already, we
should just point to them.

(You could also host an own OBS instances that you administer yourself ... but
in light of the needs the administrative overhead way way outweights the
potential benefit.)
