Hello everyone,
My health has not improved at all since my last call for help with the Debian package management. I really need someone to take over from me, or at least some help to devise a new set of (semi-)automated build scripts. Any volunteers?
Kind regards, Ben

Hi Ben,
Does the task basically involve building new .deb packages for every release? I can probably take over this if nobody else volunteered.
Get better!

Yes, that is essentially the job. For every release of Wine, produce a package for Debian's stable branch and testing/unstable.

Thanks, Lei. I'm going through some tests at the moment and think I know what the outcome of the next one will be, which is good because it will tell me what's been wrong for YEARS with me (though it's got a LOT worse these past few months).

Ok, I'll take the job. If you have any documentation / pointers on what the package maintainer needs to do, send them my way, or better yet, put it on the Wine wiki.

I've put up recommendations for how the packages should be structured on my page on the wiki. http://wiki.winehq.org/BenKlein
I'll send you my control and crappy build scripts later today. If there's anything you need to ask me, just shoot :)

It would be helpful if you provide the content of your debian/ directory. I wrote my own debian/control file and what not and built a wine-gecko-1.1.0 .deb over the weekend. I haven't finished working on the main Wine packages, but I'll take a look at your suggestions and reconsider how to structure the packages.

It would be cool to also have wine1.3-64, wine1.3-gecko64 for amd64 builds, besides the standard wine1.3, wine1.3-gecko :)

For those of you who showed some concern for my health: turns out I have a fructose intolerance. I'm still getting used to what foods I can and can't have, and as such I'm still not as well as I should be. I'm slowly working myself back into programmer's thinking, which should help me when I start going back to work :)

Since it appears this hasn't gone anywhere, do you still need a volunteer? If so, I can, just email me the scripts/other info off list.
Thanks! Austin

I've been busy, and I never got Ben's debian/ directory.

If you can, that'd be good. I use my debian machine rarely, but a cron job wouldn't be hard. There's been a few users in #winehq recently asking about debian/wine, so thought I'd try to bump it along...

I should step up here and offer to take over the whole thing. I'd like for the Ubuntu and Debian packages to be as identical as possible. Many of the issues are the same as well.
I will admit I don't use Debian much but that can easily change. In general Ubuntu developers like for things to be done in Debian when possible, since we share so much.
For instance we still don't have a package making use of Wine 1.2's 64 bit support because of the multiarch situation (which I believe is finally starting to turn around now).
