Bug ID: 38926 Summary: WineHQ should build vanilla Wine binary packages of the biweekly releases for major distros Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: dimesio@earthlink.net Distribution: ---
Yes, I know that's a lot of work and may not be feasible. But it needs to be considered.
Ordinary users depend on binary packages, and without real Wine packages available, are forced to use third party versions that do provide them, whether they want to or not. Debian never provided them reliably, Fedora stopped last year, and this year Ubuntu has relegated Wine package-building to every few months. That's the majority of our users.
