[Bug 23050] New: Ubuntu downloads page inconsistent, and archive not maintained for latest versions
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23050
Summary: Ubuntu downloads page inconsistent, and archive not maintained for latest versions Product: WineHQ.org Version: unspecified Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: www-unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: jan-winehq@h-i-s.nl
The ubuntu download page http://www.winehq.org/download/deb states that an archive is maintained. This archive is http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html only maintained up to Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04).
At the other hand, there is NO wine-1.2rc2 for Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04), as the formerly supported link: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt jaunty ceased to be updated.
The versions after wine-1.1.38 suffer regressions, so that I cannot use it on my machine.
Is it possible a) to keep updating Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04) updates and archives b) to select an archive (I will probably need wine-1.1.38 after upgrade to Karmic) for newer releases ?

--- Comment #2 from Rosanne DiMesio dimesio@earthlink.net 2010-06-06 07:10:03 --- I'm looking at the page in English, and halfway down it says "Since the APT repository can only hold the latest packages, older versions of the packages are available at the WineHQ .deb packages archive." That's no longer true since Ubuntu moved to ppa, so our web page needs to be updated.
As for actually maintaining archives and updated packages for older versions of the distro, that's the distro's responsibility. File a bug with Ubuntu for that.

--- Comment #3 from Scott Ritchie scott@open-vote.org 2010-06-06 08:15:46 --- So the story here is that:
1) The PPA doesn't make archiving old packages easy at all anymore 2) As a workaround I was planning on doing this manually 3) I fell a bit behind for personal "real life" reasons (the page only says up to 1.1.38, but in truth the files for up to 1.1.42 are there) 4) By the time I was ready to catch up and do the work of populating the archive we entered RC mode and the value of older versions rapidly diminished 5) 9.10 was such a bad release I'm not sure it's worth keeping an archive of it
So that's where we are. I'll update 9.04, 9.10, and 10.04 in the PPA, and when 1.2 final is released I'll put that package into the apt repository and retire the archive for older versions for good. I'll then start the 10.04 archive.
The page will need to be updated regardless, so I'll have to do that.

--- Comment #4 from Jan Hoogenraad jan-winehq@h-i-s.nl 2010-06-06 12:24:19 --- Thanks for the quick responses. Indeed, the first point is a documentation one. I'm also llking at the English one.
9.04 and lower do NOT have ppa. E.g. : sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa returns: sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found
Could the old documentation, which was present approx half a year ago, be restored, with the instructions of download along the lines of: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt jaunty main
For me, and for some other LTS release users this, is helpful
Please do NOT remove the old archive: as said 1.38 is the LAST one before a regression made newer versions of wine useless for me.

The add-apt-repository command might not exist on Jaunty, but the Wine PPA repo publishes the latest development Wine releases for Jaunty:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=jaunty

--- Comment #6 from Jan Hoogenraad jan-winehq@h-i-s.nl 2010-06-07 10:22:26 --- One more note:
In lucid (10.04), I tried to change the ppa settings from: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu to the one mentioned in the documentation: ppa://ubuntu-wine
This caused the following error message The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/ppa could not be found. The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/ppa could not be found.
Indeed, this file is not present, and not supplied by the apt package of Lucid.
Could the documentation be adjusted to reflect this, too ?

--- Comment #8 from Rosanne DiMesio dimesio@earthlink.net 2011-02-05 21:25:25 CST --- The English version of the page has been updated, but a forum user just pointed out that the Spanish version of the page still has (now dead) links to budgetdedicated.com.

--- Comment #9 from Scott Ritchie scott@open-vote.org 2011-02-05 21:35:14 CST --- Yes, at this point the translated pages should probably be just deleted until someone can rewrite them, since they're so terribly out of date.
