reverting to an older version on opensuse

Post by lalimn »

Recently did an update on opensuse tumbleweed which updated Wine from 7.10 to 7.11. One of my wine related programs has stopped working and I would like to revert to the older version [7.10] to see if that fixes the problem.
Is there a way to do this?
Yast only shows the latest version in Software Management.
Thanks

Hi,

I don't use opensuse, but if you only want to run that single program with older wine version you could maybe try https://github.com/Kron4ek/Wine-Builds/releases.

I personally find it very handy to test programs with older releases from there;
No need to install, and no need to uninstall your current wine-7.11, you can just run it "out of the tree":
Like:

- cd /tmp

-wget https://github.com/Kron4ek/Wine-Builds/ ... d64.tar.xz
- tar xvf wine-7.10-amd64.tar.xz

Then you can just run your program like
- /tmp/wine-7.10-amd64/bin/wine winecfg (replace winecfg with the program you want to run)
