ofline installer for wine

[d_vineet]

I am evaluating various Ubuntu flavors.
For installing wine everytime through apt-get is consuming time & internet data-traffic.
Can I get an offline installer for wine? (I searched winehq & googled, but found nothing).

Thanks,

Vineet

You can download the .deb and and install it from your hard drive; you will also have to download Wine's dependencies. It can be done, but it's a lot more trouble than just using your package manager.

Thanks for the reply.
The download page http://dev.carbon-project.org/debian/wine-unstable/ shows various wine & libwine packages (for amd64 & i386).
Can you pl. help me by advising which are the dependencies (which ones should be installed)?

Thanks again,

Vineet

Those packages are for Debian, not Ubuntu, and 1.5.5 is obsolete. You can find Ubuntu packages at https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa.

As for the dependencies, when you try to install the downloaded .deb your package manager should tell you what you are missing.

Thanks dimesio.

i think you can just keep /var/cache/apt/archives everytime
