What's the long term plan for an LSB build of wine? Would we drop the dozen or so different distro packages and have 1 official binary, like samba is supposedly planning to do?
While I don't know what Wine's plans for this are, I'm 100% positive that the Samba team is not planning to do any LSB releases. Samba needs various low level features that LSB doesn't provide, and you don't really want a binary without those features.
However, for the Wine side of things, the tradeoff is different. Samba has a (non-security) release once every couple of months. Wine is churning out releases every other week. Also, at Wine we're creating our binaries ourselves. I guess the real question is if a LSB-wine could be kept at a reasonable size with a reasonable set of features in order to replace the different distro packages.
