I'm trying to decide if it's a good idea to create wine-mono and wine-gecko packages depended on by the wine package.
wine-gecko seems easy enough: we just install a local copy of the gecko engine, and then Wine grabs it as soon as it's needed. I'm even thinking of modifying wineprefixcreate to essentially do winetricks gecko at the end, unless someone can point out how that would have bad consequences.
wine-mono would function similarly. Is there any reason not to install it around wineprefixcreate time? I'm assuming Microsoft .net or a later mono can be installed to replace mono afterwards (if not this is probably a bug). Even so, does this seem like a good idea?
Have any other packagers thought of something like this? The biggest issue at this point seems to be dealing with the fact that gecko can only be built on Windows. I'm not sure how to build the Windows version of Mono either.
Thanks, Scott Ritchie
