Debian packages are almost done. I have them up for testing.
Add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://tuzakey.com/~scott/ binary/ deb-src http://tuzakey.com/~scott/ source/
My friend's webserver can't handle the huge bandwidth permanent hosting of packages like this will require, so if there's a way we could put them up on winehq it would be nice. I'd like to have an apt repository here, so installing the latest debian wine package would be as simple as adding something like the above line to sources.list and then doing things as normal.
What would be ideal, of course, is if the package could be included in the Debian distribution itself. I've yet to hear back from Ove (the current maintainer of the package), and unless he's disappeared entirely there's really nothing that can be done until he decides to update the package or orphan it, as Debian maintainers have total control over their packages.
Ubuntu is a different matter, however, and I may be able to get an Ubuntu version included much quicker.
If you're a Debian/Ubuntu user, test out the packages and tell me if I left anything out.
Thanks, Scott Ritchie
