So wt-install-dev now supports openSUSE Tumbleweed (in addition to Leap 15.1) and can also automate adding the contrib section on Debian (for the TrueType fonts) and also Ubuntu. I'm also not opposed to extending it to other distributions like Fedora and Arch.
So I'd like to update the Wine wiki pages that describe how to build Wine to reference this tool [1] since I think it's really the easiest way to set things up the 32- and 64-bit build dependencies.
But before I do that I wonder if the tool should be moved to another Git repository. Currently it's in my wt-daily repository but that may not be the most appropriate place. The three candidate are:
* wt-daily That's where I initially put it since that was easiest and I use wt-install-dev to configure the machines for my daily WineTest runs. But wt-daily is not really a mainstream repository.
* tools I also use wt-install-dev to configure the TestBot VMs that run the Wine tests. So since the TestBot source is stored in the tools repository it could make sense to add wt-install-dev there.
* wine After all the goal is to help set up a system to compile Wine so that may be the most logical place for it. Then anyone wanting to compile Wine would immediately have access to this tool without having to go fetch some other repository. It could even be referenced in the README.
Of course I'm also open to renaming wt-install-dev.
Any thoughts?
