Hey,

why isn't there any 0.9.55 oder 0.9.56 .deb in the repositories and/or in the archive?!
Is Scott ill?
Does someone knows anything?

Here is how I make my own deb so that I can always have hot fresh apt-friendly wine:

Get the source, extract it, and (using the terminal) cd into the directory.

./configure --prefix=/usr
make depend
make
checkinstall --install=no

Checkinstall runs "make install" and intercepts everything that make install tries to do. Checkinstall can be hit and miss on making debs this way, but I have not had any trouble making the wine deb with it. It will ask for some info about what to call the package and then do it's thing. The final step in making the package is very slow, so be patient. The deb will have the dev stuff in it so you can remove both the older wine and wine-dev packages before using it. Use GDebi (or sudo dpkg -i yaddayadda as checkinstall explains at the end) to install the deb.

Also make (ha) sure that configure is satisfied before moving forward to make depend and make.

If anyone can think of a reason not to do things this way please scream real loud, but it works for me.

0.9.56 is the latest version, but as it says on the front page...

Binary packages are in the process of being built and it may take a few days for them to appear, but the source is available now.

So, it's taking a little longer than "a few days", but nothing to fret over. After all, it's only been a week.

However, I am waiting for a 0.9.56 deb before I install Wine again.

ty @ billstei

@Sleaka J I'm using wine since 0.9.38 and the Ubuntu packages were always there at the next day...

People are probably anxious because the last working package on Ubuntu
was 0.9.54.

The 0.9.55 package was built with the newer gcc (which is the default in
Hardy), and segfaults for most people if they try to run anything. As
far as I know, it was never fixed - the broken package is still in the
repos.

Alas, since DEB files for Debian/Ubuntu are maintained by 1 person, maybe he's just had more important things to do this time. Who really knows?

For Debian Etch look here:

http://wine.x.pl/

You will find packages compiled by me - "patched" packages are with hacks
for "escaping mouse" and "MoHAA Opengl/Nvidia problem"
Enjoy.

hmm, for me the 0.9.55 package works well

on my laptop and on my pc they had been installed without any complications...don't know what you mean

yeah, it's really bad that the website is in russian (i think) ...I think I will ask a friend of me to translate it for me

WiseAllec · Post by **WiseAllec** » Sat Mar 01, 2008 5:47 pm

I also do not experience such segfaults with version 0.9.55 of wine...

Y'know... there are online translators that can translate russian to english... Not perfect translations, but you can always use your imagination to fill in the blanks...
