Great news!
We already added the new Ubuntu repository to the CDN, so that users can start switching by now and don't have to wait till the next release.
I'm running into the CDN sync issue; http://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ doesn't show a directory for Ubuntu, but http://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu does exist.
To make sure that all users will be informed about this change, I will push at least one additional update (Wine 2.5) to the PPA that displays a warning during the package upgrade containing the necessary instructions
We should also post a notice on the forum. I can take care of that.
Wine Stable is now available as package
A lot of users will be happy about that.
Added / removed distros
The following distros have been removed as they are no longer supported or reach their EOL within the next month:
- Ubuntu Precise
- Fedora 23
- Mageia 4
Fedora 22 is also EOL.
Nevertheless, we believe that these changes are very useful and will make things much easier in the long term.
I agree. Thanks!
