Wine under ubuntu hardy

Post by gspat »

Hi, just a quick question if I could...

When will there be a hardy repository for wine? Presently, I'm usingthe gutsy one and it works just fine, but I see there is a repository for each version so far, so will there be one for hardy as well?

I suppose there will be one once it is out of beta.....

Too bad we have to wait so long, maybe it should be created as soon as it hits beta, considering it is supposed to be "feature complete" by that time and many people jump over to it at that time.

Anyways, It works well as it is, so I have no complaints one way or the other!!!! (A big thanks to the devs for this amazing app!!!)

Not really, since hardy gets updates regularly one of them could stop a deb version of wine from working, so the deb maintainer would have to rebuild the package again. Sure that gets more unlikely the closer hardy gets to release but it can happen.

Why don't you just compile wine?

The hardy repository does currently contain wine 0.9.57, it normally after release that they stop updating it so that you have to rely on the debs from the wine site.

Umm.. isn't that the point of having the repository? So that updates can be made in a timely fashion for whatever reason?

I did compile it myself after issues surrounding the 56 release, but 1/2 hour to compile vs > 1 minute to download a deb makes it tough to justify especially since there is no real performance gain.

Like I said, as long as it works I'm happy, thanks again!!
