Hi, that version is over half a year old. Compiling from source is a bit harder than using RPMs, but not much. If you can keep up with CVS then upgrading is pretty easy as well.
Yes, I was wondering about this. RH are often quite good at new releases, but perhaps only for security issues or bugs they consider more serious in non-development systems and hence they've not even tried to deliver a newer RPM for Wine. Oh well, I might have to try biting the bullet. Very badly pressed for time at present though :(
Since I recently provided instructions elsewhere, here is a copy. I would ignore the tarball method mentioned in the wine documentation; I consider it more trouble than it is worth. This takes only a few minutes, other than the time spent waiting for the Wine compile to complete.
First uninstall the Wine that you have (you can always reinstall it later if desired). Then..
Create the file ~/.cvspass and put in the line: :pserver:cvs@cvs.winehq.com:/home/wine Ah<Z
Create the file ~/.cvsrc and put in: cvs -z 3 update -PAd diff -u
Type "cvs checkout wine", and in a few minutes (assuming a reasonable internet connection) you should have a complete Wine tree. CD into it and type "./tools/wineinstall", or do it manually: ./configure make depend make make install (as root)
And you should then be ready to go. That really should be all there is to it. Then in the future to update, you just CD into the wine directory and type "cvs update", and then redo the last four steps above.
