How to manually patch 1.3.0 installed from PPA?

Post by Kurtosis »

After testing Wine 1.3 a bit I find it does everything I need, no regressions. So I uninstalled 1.2 and installed 1.3.0 from the Ubuntu Wine PPA.

I also recently got a WoW Cataclysm Beta key, but find it won't install. There's a patch for it:

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23477

The patch is apparently in Wine 1.3.1 in Github, but that hasn't made it to the PPA yet, so I can't apt-get upgrade it.

What's the best way to get this patch installed? I'm comfortable recompiling and installing Wine manually, just don't know how to install over the current 1.3.0 version from the PPA.

er, I meant Git, as in source.winehq.org/git.

Uninstall the distro package before installing your self-compiled version.
