Can apt-get install Wine 1.0 on Ubuntu 8.04?

Hi,

I'm preparing some brief instructions for someone on how to get Wine 1.0 set up on Ubuntu 8.04, and I'd like them to be as simple as possible. Is it possible to use apt-get to install Wine 1.0-rc3 (or other 1.0 versions)? So far I've managed to get 0.9.59, but nothing later. I know I can get the .deb package directly, but I thought if apt-get could do it, that would be easier for people.

Just point them towards that page.

Hi Sleaka J,

Following the instructions at that page gets me version 0.9.59. I was wondering if there was a way of getting 1.0-rcX via apt-get.

If you Add/Remove like the link says, you'll probably get the version that is stored on the Ubuntu repositories. If you use Synaptic, you should get RC3.

After adding the wine source (from that page), what happens when you type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine

Do you still get 0.9.59?

I'll admit that I got 0.9.59 when I installed 8.04, but that was the current version at the time and I've upgraded (using the update manager) to 60, 61, RC1, RC2 and now RC3.

Ok, now I'm getting rc3. I had added the repository, but before I still seemed to be getting the old version. I rebooted the machine and now I'm getting it, so maybe it just needed a reboot or restart of one of the daemons.

Thanks for your help.
