Status of Ubuntu 18.04 build(s) support in repos?

Post by teward »

The repositories provided by WineHQ are great to get the newer versions of Wine for Ubuntu.

However, with 18.04's release last week, many users are using 18.04 now, and there's no official repository supporting 18.04. Are there plans for 18.04 support?

It seems like the moderator is working on it.

Best solution for now is to open /etc/apt/sources.list as root with your favourite text editor, then add a new line containing:

deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ artful main

Save, run 'sudo apt update' and then continue the installation procedure as outlined in the Wine guide
