Bug ID: 49999
           Summary: It should be possible to submit results for all
                    versions of the current stable branch
           Product: WineHQ Apps Database
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: appdb-unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

Lots of Linux Distributions and FreeBSD only ship the stable releases of wine
in their repositories. They often stick to the first minor release (In Debian
and FreeBSD this currently is 5.0 for example).

I think it should be possible to submit tests with the distribution's own most
recent wine package, as that probably is the main way wine is aquired.

Therefore the AppDB list should include the "outdated" minor releases of the
current stable branch for selection aswell.
This is currently not the case (only 5.0.2 is available for selection
currently).

Cheers!

Did you read what the AppDB page said there:
"Version not listed? Your Wine is too old, upgrade!"

I'm not sure you actually read the bug report; the request is that this exact
policy be reversed.

There is a reason why the formula says:
"Version not listed? Your Wine is too old, upgrade!"

Because of this, I recommend to set this bug to "wontfix".

Please report bugs to the maintainer of your distro. The maintainer will have
to provide a newer version of wine in the distro's repository. Newer versions
of wine may have less bugs.

We can't list every version that some distro might ship.

I disagree. It's not about *every* version, but stable versions.

In my opinion, this should not be closed without discussing on wine-devel.

of  the current stable branch"

Only Rosanne posted an answer.

I think it's a WONTFIX, then.
