Wine v1.5.5+ on LMDE?

[Lord Aro]

Hi,

Is there a way of getting .deb files of wine 1.5.5+?
I did download them from here: http://dev.carbon-project.org/debian/wine-unstable/
However, that hasn't been updated in months, and I'd really rather like a newer version...
I also sent the maintainer of that page an email, but he hasn't answered, so i'm asking here

Any ideas?

Packages are built by the distros, and it's entirely up to the maintainer what to build.

You could just build Wine yourself.

theoretically, yes, i could build it myself, but i found the wiki...confusing

i'm on mint debian 64bit, and i just want 'normal' (tm) wine, which page do i look at?

http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/pp ... w/wine1.5/ probably works fine for what you want to do.

Thanks for the link, however i have been led to believe that ubuntu .deb will probably not work on a debian system...
can someone confirm?
