Re: What happened to the Fedora packages?

[Eddy Nigg (StartCom Ltd.)]

We just compiled the latest wine rpm for our upcoming MultiMedia
Edition....no problems at all...We made only minor adjustments, to
reflect the fact, that it's a StartCom build and not Fedora....

The files can be used of course by any compatible OS:

Cheers!
