Hi,
here is some news/status update on the fedora packages:
As people have been complaining about the link on the winehq webpage I have taken the time to make a summary page[1] on the fedora wiki which is easier for me to maintain and keep up-to-date and is probably more helpful. I would request that the link in the download section is changed to that page.
I have good news for users of RHEL/Centos: After collaborating with some other maintainers from the fedora project I finally got all dependencies for wine into the EPEL[2] repository (which is something like Fedora Extras but for RHEL/Centos). This means that there now is a wine version for users of RHEL/Centos 5 (it may take a couple of hours or a day till it is published to the repository and all mirrors have synced it). It will probably take a couple of days but I finished testing these changes for RHEL/Centos 4 as well so there should also be a version out soon.
Comments and suggestions are (like always) very much welcome.
Regards,
Andreas

And again a small update interesting for RHEL/Centos 4 users: All dependencies that where needed to build wine for EPEL 4 have been met and I just pushed a build for it. This means that EPEL [2] users can just install wine from the EPEL repository.

Could this please be changed. I get about 2-3 mails a day asking about this +)
