Deadlines for removing Wine packages for old version Ubuntu
Hello, which day they remove there more or less packets deb? In the day of the end of support or do it sooner or later?
For example, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS completes support 2019-04 and for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS packages deb has been removed.

AFAIK there are no plans to remove old packages from the WineHQ download server. There is a wine-builds-old directory with old packages for distros that are now EOL; presumably, that's where they will move old packages for retired distros in the future.
The WineHQ package maintainers do eventually stop building packages for EOL distros, but there is no set schedule as to when; for example, packages are still being built for Fedora 24 and 25.

Thank you for your answer only where is the wine-builds-old directory?
Re: Deadlines for removing Wine packages for old version Ubu
Sorry, I mistyped; it's wine-builds.old. http://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds.old/

Re: Deadlines for removing Wine packages for old version Ubu
Thanks but Ubuntu is not on the list Can Debian older packages be used in Ubuntu and older Ubuntu packages appear?
Re: Deadlines for removing Wine packages for old version Ubu
Ubuntu packages going back to 2.4 are still in the wine-builds directory. Packages prior to that were never on the WineHQ download server. Ubuntu packages used to be built and distributed on https://launchpad.net/~wine/+archive/ubuntu/wine-builds, but that ppa has been deprecated since March, 2017. However, it does look like the old ppa still has 2.4 packages for 12.04, if that's what you're looking for.AdrianGlowacki wrote:Thanks but Ubuntu is not on the list :

And you not archive all release versions of wine or only these latest versions for older versions of Linux. Like, for example, for Ubuntu 11.10 and the older ones?
Re: Deadlines for removing Wine packages for old version Ubu
WineHQ did not start building binary packages until the end of 2015; there never were WineHQ packages for Ubuntu versions older than 12.04. There is an Ubuntu archive with old distro packages at http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/binary/.
