is wine 1.4 equivalent to wine 1.4rc6?

thed0ctor · Post by **thed0ctor** » Fri Mar 09, 2012 8:05 pm

I've updated my computer since the stable release of 1.4 but I'm still at 1.4rc6. Are they both the same?

If not, what do I need to compile?

I found this: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa

which has wine1.3 as version 1.4rc6, and then wine1.3-gecko as version 1.4.0... Not sure what the difference is there..

Any help?

well, wine 1.3 is stable version You can install it.
Due to problems in 1.4, you can install its 1.4 RC6 version or wait for the stable version.

Since March 8, version 1.4 was claimed as stable, by the way

I know 1.4 was claimed stable but it doesn't look like it's available to download through the repository/ubuntu software center. The only one available is 1.4rc6 and the gecko version.

It sometimes takes a few days for packages to be built.

FWIW Fedora 16 is distributing a version as a set of RPM packages
labelled 1.4.1-fc16 but I can't tell you more than that because "wine
--version" just displays "wine-1.4".

It ran everything I use Wine for in a series of quick tests - specialist
stuff: LK8000, XCSoar (navigation programs), SPINE (a UK-specific flight
planning program) and EW Uploader (a downloader for EW loggers).
