FAudio for Fedora 28 & 29

[dimesio]

Beginning with 4.3, Wine added a dependency for FAudio in order to have XAudio2 support. None of the distros we currently build WineHQ packages for provide this.

Thanks to Marcus Meissner, we currently have experimental FAudio packages on the OBS for Fedora 28 & 29, and the WineHQ Fedora wine-devel packages were built against them.

The caveat is that they were built against a version of SDL-2 older than 2.0.9 (because that's all Fedora provides), and I do not know how that might affect functionality. Feedback from testers is needed.

The FAudio packages will not be distributed from the download server here, but can be obtained directly from the OBS repository:

Fedora 28:

Code: Select all

sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine:/Fedora/Fedora_28/Emulators:Wine:Fedora.repo

Fedora 29:

Code: Select all

sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine:/Fedora/Fedora_29_standard/Emulators:Wine:Fedora.repo

Fedora 29 now has FAudio in their updates repository; 30 and onward should have it in the standard repository. Users should install the official Fedora packages. We will continue to make FAudio for Fedora 28 available from the OBS until it reaches EOL.
