So now we could expect the 1.2 pre-releases packaged soon?

From: Mark Purcell <msp@debian.org> To: 557783@bugs.debian.org Cc: 585409@bugs.debian.org Subject: What's new in Wine 1.2 Date: Sun, 18 Jul 2010 08:28:52 +1000

http://www.winehq.org/announce/1.2 Wine Announcement The Wine team is proud to announce that the stable release Wine 1.2 is now available. This release represents two years of development effort and over 23,000 changes. The main highlights are the support for 64-bit applications, and the new graphics based on the Tango standard. It also contains a lot of improvements across the board, and over 3,000 bug fixes. See the release notes below for a summary of the major changes. The source is available from the following locations: http://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/system/emulators/wine/wine-1.2.tar.bz2 http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine/wine-1.2.tar.bz2 Binary packages for various distributions will be available from: http://www.winehq.org/download You will find documentation on http://www.winehq.org/documentation You can also get the current source directly from the git repository. Check http://www.winehq.org/git for details. Wine is available thanks to the work of many people. See the file AUTHORS in the distribution for the complete list. ---------------------------------------------------------------- What's new in Wine 1.2 ====================== *** Core functionality - Loading and running 64-bit Windows applications is now supported on x86-64 processors (only on Linux at this point). - There are now two flavors of Wine prefixes, 32-bit and 64-bit. 32-bit prefixes only support 32-bit applications, while 64-bit prefixes support both 32-bit and 64-bit applications. The prefix flavor is set at prefix creation time and cannot be changed afterwards, since all the files and registry entries are in different locations. Backwards compatibility is ensured by considering all prefixes created with older Wine versions to be 32-bit. - WoW64 file system redirection is supported now. When running a 32-bit application in a 64-bit prefix, accesses to the window/system32 directory are automatically redirected to windows/syswow64. - WoW64 registry redirection is now supported in 64-bit prefixes. This allows both 32-bit and 64-bit applications to set platform-specific registry keys without stepping on each other. - All the 16-bit support code has been moved to a set of independent 16-bit modules. No 16-bit code is loaded or initialized when running a standard Win32 application, unless it starts making 16-bit calls. - The mount manager now reports the actual UUID for disk devices that support it instead of a hard-coded one. - Symbolic links are now supported in the registry. - The C runtime libraries msvcr80, msvcr90 and msvcr100 used by recent Visual C++ versions are now partially implemented. - Some functions now use a Microsoft-compatible function prologue when building with a recent enough gcc. This allows Steam overlays to work. *** User interface - There are new icons for all the built-in applications, as well as for the standard toolbars and images. The icons are based on the Tango set for a nicer integration with the native Unix desktop look. - Animated cursors can now be loaded, though only the first frame of the animation is used as a static cursor. - The mouse cursor is now updated correctly in applications that create windows from different threads, like Internet Explorer. - The standard print and page setup dialogs are working much better now. - There is now an application wizard control panel to manage installed applications. - Rendering of bi-directional text is now supported reasonably well. There is also some support for Arabic text shaping. - Many features of the RichEdit control are improved, particularly support for tables, URL detection, cursor positioning, scrollbar management, and support for windowless controls. - Many common controls work better now, particularly the listview, calendar and tab controls. - There is now a partial implementation of the Microsoft Text Services framework, which provides better input method support in modern applications. - There is now a proper user interface for importing, exporting and managing cryptographic keys and certificates. - Wine is now fully translated to French, German, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Polish, Lithuanian, Norwegian, and Korean. It has partial translations for another twenty languages. *** Desktop integration - The XDG standard for application startup notification is now implemented. - The NET_WORKAREA property is now supported to let applications take into account the size of the Unix desktop task bars. - File associations created by a Windows applications are now registered with the Unix desktop. - Application icons are now set with the NET_WM_ICON hint, which enables alpha channel transparency under window managers that support it. - Maximizing a window from the Unix window manager is now detected and the state is correctly reflected on the Windows application side. - The XDG desktop screen saver is now launched when a Windows application makes a request to start the screen saver. - Start Menu entries are now properly removed when an application is uninstalled. - Copying and pasting images between Windows and Unix applications works more reliably now, and more image formats are supported. - Launching an external Unix Web browser from a Windows application now works correctly. - MSI files are now associated with Wine to enable launching them directly from the desktop. - The virtual desktop window now switches to full-screen mode when its size matches that of the screen. - The strange window management behavior used by Delphi-generated applications is better supported now. *** Graphics - Subpixel font rendering is now supported, which greatly improves text appearance on LCD screens. The subpixel configuration is derived from the system fontconfig and Xft settings. - Icons with alpha channels are now properly blended in, for a much nicer appearance. - Image lists now properly store the alpha channel of images and use it when displaying them. - The windowscodecs dll has been added, with codecs for the JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, ICO, and TIFF image formats. - Many functions are now implemented in GDIPlus. The gdiplus dll is now considered good enough to load the built-in version by default. - Overlays are now supported in DirectDraw. - Many more capabilities are now supported in the SANE scanner backend. This improves scanning support in Acrobat. *** Audio - The openal32 dll is now implemented, as a wrapper around the Unix OpenAL library. - There is now an initial implementation of the mmdevapi dll (part of the new Vista sound architecture), using OpenAL for sound I/O. - The msgsm32.acm GSM codec is now supported. - The ALSA sound driver now works better with PulseAudio's ALSA emulation. - Digital playback of audio CDs is now supported. *** Internet and networking - The HTTP protocol implementation has seen many improvements, in particular better handling of proxies and redirects, better cookie management, support for gzip encoding, fixes for chunked transfer mode, support for IPv6 addresses, and better certificate validation on secure connections. - The Gecko HTML engine has been updated to a more recent upstream version. Many more HTML objects are now implemented. - The RPC layer now properly supports server-side authentication and impersonation. The COM marshalling/unmarshalling is also more compatible. RPC is now supported over the HTTP protocol too. - There is now an essentially complete implementation of the JavaScript language. - The IRDA network protocol is now supported by the socket layer. - The inetmib1 dll is now implemented, with support for the standard SNMP MIB tables. - The inetcomm dll now implements the POP3 and SMTP protocols, as well as better MIME support. - Extended mail providers are now better supported, particularly the native Outlook provider. Mail attachments are also supported now. - Many undocumented functions in the shlwapi dll have been implemented for improved Internet Explorer support. *** Direct3D - FBOs are now used by default for off-screen rendering in Direct3D. - Backbuffers larger/smaller than their associated window are now correctly stretched. - A large portion of the d3dx9 dlls is now implemented, most notably the shader assembler, .x file support, functions for fonts, general 3D math, mesh handling, and sprites. A start has been made with the texture and effect functions. - Fog handling has improved a lot. - Various YUV texture formats are now supported. - wined3d contexts are now managed per-thread, and play nice both with other wined3d instances and opengl32 GL contexts. Contexts are checked for validity before being used (e.g. if the associated window is destroyed.) - Point sprite handling has improved a lot. - The shader source is now dumped on GLSL compile/link failures. This is mostly to help driver developers, like Mesa, with investigating GLSL bugs triggered by Wine. - The graphics card detection code is improved, and many more graphics cards are now recognized. - User clip planes are now supported in shaders. This allows proper water reflections in Half-Life 2. - There is now an initial implementation of Direct3D 10, including the dxgi, d3d10core and d3d10 dlls. Most of the work so far has gone into parsing d3d10 effects and SM4 shaders. - Shadow samplers are now properly supported. This fixes shadows in StarCraft 2. - There is now a shader based implementation of D3D fixed function fragment processing. This avoids some limitations of the previous OpenGL fixed function based approach. - Partial updates of surfaces with compressed formats are now properly supported. - Many new OpenGL extensions are now supported. These include: - EXT_provoking_vertex/ARB_provoking_vertex. This allows the correct vertex color to be used when flat shading is enabled, and helps Civilization IV in particular. - EXT_vertex_array_bgra/ARB_vertex_array_bgra. This allows for more efficient handling of BGRA (D3DCOLOR) data in the fixed function pipeline. - EXT_draw_buffers2. This enables independent color write masks when multiple (simultaneous) render targets are in use. - Various nVidia extensions to ARB vertex/fragment programs. These allow SM3 support with the ARB vertex/fragment program shader backend. - EXT_texture_compression_rgtc. This adds support for the ATI2N (also known as 3Dc) compressed texture format. - ARB_texture_rg. This allows for more efficient support of the R16F, G16R16F, R32F and G32R32F texture formats. - ARB_framebuffer_object. This is mostly the same as the existing support for EXT_framebuffer_object, but improves rendering with a depth/stencil buffer larger than the color buffer(s). It helps (among others) Splinter Cell, - ARB_sync. This adds support for multi-threaded / cross GL context event queries used by Dragon Age: Origins. - ARB_half_float_vertex. This adds support for 16-bit floating point vertex formats on cards that don't already support NV_half_float. It helps Supreme Commander. - There is now a general framework for supporting variations/quirks in GL drivers. *** Built-in applications - The Wine debugger now displays a crash dialog to let the user know that a crash happened before dumping the backtrace information. - The Wine debugger now uses the Dwarf exception unwinding data for more reliable backtraces. - The file dialogs in built-in applications are now resizable. - Regedit can now import from and export to files in Unicode format. - Wineboot now displays a dialog while creating or updating the prefix directory to let the user know that something is happening, since the update can take some time, particularly with 64-bit prefixes. - Text replacement is now implemented in Notepad. - The print preview feature in Wordpad now works much better. - Navigation in help files now works better in Winhelp. Many graphical glitches have also been fixed. - The Winecfg dialogs have been tweaked so that the application is usable in a 640x480 desktop. The About panel has been redesigned with better graphics. - The command-line parser in cmd.exe is more compatible now, which should enable more Windows batch files to execute correctly. There is also a regression test suite for it. - Rpcss now implements a proper RPC endpoint mapper. *** Build environment - The Wine IDL compiler can now generate correct code for all the standard IDL files, including proper exception handling. A large number of COM proxies and servers are now automatically generated from their IDL definitions. - The fake dll placeholders are now built at compile time, instead of being generated every time a Wine prefix is created. This makes it possible to install a placeholder for every supported dll, which should avoid many failures in installers that check dll versions. - configure now supports the --disable-tests option to prevent building the test suite. This allows for faster compile times, particularly when bisecting a regression. - The cross-compiled tests are now built against the Wine import libraries instead of the Mingw ones. The latter are not compatible enough for our needs. - winegcc now handles resource files just like normal object files and links them into the final binary without requiring special build rules. - winebuild and winegcc now fully support Solaris. - Wine now builds properly on Cygwin, though some of the resulting binaries do not work correctly. - Makefiles are now created as needed during the build process, instead of being all created together at configure time. This makes it unnecessary to run 'make depend' in most cases. - winemaker now has better support for Visual C++ project files. *** Miscellaneous - The OLE storage implementation now supports transacted storage, with proper commits and rollbacks. This enables support for Microsoft Office documents containing macros. - The MSI installer now supports patches, which enables the installation of service packs for many applications. Many more MSI standard actions are also supported now. - The rsaenh dll now supports the SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 encryption algorithms, as well as CALG_SSL3_SHAMD5 hashing. - OLE database objects are now implemented, which fixes the clipart functionality in Microsoft Office 2007. - Copying and pasting OLE objects across applications works better now. - Support for cryptographic signatures and certificates is improved, including support for certificate trust lists. - The Task Scheduler service is now implemented. *** Performance - Bitmap stretching and alpha blending is now done through Xrender when possible, which avoids a time-consuming round-trip of the bitmap bits from the X server. - Startup time for MSI installers that contain a large amount of strings is much improved. - Setting the processor affinity for threads or processes is now supported, which improves multi-core performance for applications that take advantage of it. - Loading large symbol tables in the Wine debugger is much faster now. - FBO handling has improved significantly. Recently used FBO configurations are now cached, which is a major performance improvement. - Loading shader constants is more efficient now. This improves performance for (among others) Half-Life 2, Counter Strike: Source, and Source Engine games in general. - The performance of sRGB samples is improved, this particularly helps Source Engine games. *** Platform-specific changes - Joysticks POV switch and axis remapping are now better supported on Linux. Joysticks are now supported on Mac OS X too. - The various DVD I/O controls are now implemented on Mac OS X. - The network routing and statistics functions in iphlpapi are now implemented on Solaris and FreeBSD. - Mach-O debugging symbols (the format used by Mac OS X) are now supported in the debugger. - Event ports are now used on Solaris for improved wineserver performance. *** New library dependencies - The libgnutls library is now used for encryption and certificate validation in secur32. - The libgsm library is now used for the GSM codec support. - The libmpg123 library is now used for mp3 decoding (except on Mac OS X where CoreAudio functions are used instead). - The libopenal library is now used for the openal32 dll implementation, as well as for the mmdevapi dll (Vista sound support). - The libtiff library is now used for TIFF image decoding in the windowscodecs dll. - The libv4l1 library is now used for video capture in DirectShow. *** Backwards compatibility - The wineshelllink helper script has been removed. All the menu and desktop integration is now handled by winemenubuilder. - The deprecated wineprefixcreate script has been removed. Wine prefix directories are created automatically as needed. - Old LinuxThreads setups are no longer supported. Wine now requires the modern NPTL threading that has been standard on Linux for many years now. - The PBuffer option for off-screen rendering has been removed from Direct3D. This code was unmaintained, and offered little advantage over the "fbo" or "backbuffer" modes. *** Known issues with recent 1.2 changes - The subpixel font rendering doesn't yet look quite as nice as that used by the rest of the Unix desktop. - The OLE storage performance can degrade pretty badly on files with a particular layout. - There is no 64-bit version of the Gecko engine yet, so 64-bit applications that use a browser control won't work correctly. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard@winehq.org Hosted By CodeWeavers

I'd also like to request that for amd64, a full 64-bit Wine can now be included. It's pretty complicated to get it all built, but with a combination of 32-bit Wine and 64-bit Wine on the same system, it's now possible to run Win16, Win32, and Win64 applications all on the same system. This could possibly even be done in a manner so you can only install 64-bit Wine (Win64 apps only) or 32-bit Wine (Win16/Win32 apps) without requiring the other (use Recommends?) although having both of them at the same time massively expands the applications you can run.

Hey people! I think you are being very unfair with Ove, Wine is not a small package, not at all, it is big, it is *very* complex, and it seems that the only one maintaining it in Debian is Ove! While having Squeeze released with the stable Wine 1.2 would be ideal and save some time for a lot of people, it might not happen, but we cannot blame Ove for that! He already explained the problems with Gecko, its dependencies, the Debian rules and high quality standards, etc. Maybe someone can help him accomplish this goal, but please, don't criticize him unfairly, instead be helpful, be constructive, and be thankful for his work. Thanks A LOT Ove!!!! Sorry, I felt the need to write this message.

Hi everyone, I've prepared packages of gcc-mingw32 4.5.0, a snapshot of mingw-w64, wine-gecko 1.0.0 and wine 1.2; they are available on http://www.sk2.org/wine/ along with everything needed to rebuild them (build gcc-mingw32 first, then mingw-w64, wine-gecko and wine). I've already attempted to contact Ove and the Wine packaging team but have not received any response so far. Given the time of year it's possible everyone involved is on holiday! Since there is some unrest around having newer versions of Wine in Debian, and since I'd done most of the work already, I thought I'd send this announcement and avoid unnecessary duplicate work. gcc-mingw32 and ming-w64 are just the minimum required to build wine-gecko; I'm not sure they're appropriate for replacing the existing Mingw32-based packages in Debian. I haven't contacted the people involved yet. wine-gecko itself works on i386, and as far as I can determine on amd64 (at least the Steam browser works). It should probably end up with the version in the package name, to allow multiple versions to be installed in parallel (for instance if future versions of wine-unstable use a newer version of wine-gecko, once wine-unstable becomes installable alongside wine). The wine package includes everything in Ove's git tree, and newer programs shipped in Wine 1.2. The changelog is complete, but doesn't list upstream's change summaries as Ove usually does. I'd appreciate your feedback! Regarding #591837, the provided patch doesn't work but it may be possible that Wine 1.2 builds as-is on kfreebsd-i386. Regards, Stephen

For kfreebsd, wine 1.2 has the same problem, except in a different place. Here's a new patch. Again I verified it works by running a simple windows program. For the mingw32 stuff, I got this error when trying to install your package: Unpacking mingw-w32 (from mingw-w32_0~20100726-0.1_all.deb) ... dpkg: error processing mingw-w32_0~20100726-0.1_all.deb (--install): trying to overwrite '/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/include/mbstring.h', which is also in package mingw32-runtime 3.13-1 On 8/12/10, Stephen Kitt <steve@sk2.org> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I've prepared packages of gcc-mingw32 4.5.0, a snapshot of mingw-w64, > wine-gecko 1.0.0 and wine 1.2; they are available on > http://www.sk2.org/wine/ > along with everything needed to rebuild them (build gcc-mingw32 first, then > mingw-w64, wine-gecko and wine). > > I've already attempted to contact Ove and the Wine packaging team but have > not received any response so far.

severity 585409 important tag 585409 - experimental tag 585409 + squeeze thanks Hi! I took the liberty to raise this to important. Lenny shipped wine-1.0.1-1, now it seems we're going to ship 1.0.1-3 in squeeze. This can't be true, especially with wine 1.2 upstream being available. I know we're in freeze, but we should offer a decent wine version to our upcoming squeeze users. To me, that's a release goal. YMMV. If so, feel free to lower the severity level.

Dear release team, I know what the answer ought to be at this stage, but I thought I'd ask anyway; is there any chance whatsoever that, should updated packages of Wine be ready soon (and satisfy the usual quality requirements), they could be accepted into Squeeze? The version of Wine Squeeze is going to ship with (1.0.1) is nearly two years old and for many users its use is greatly limited. The recently released stable version, 1.2, has vastly improved support for a large number of applications and games. I have prepared packages in the same style as the current maintainer's, and a few people have tested them. I haven't had much reaction from Ove but I do know he is aware of their existence; I haven't consulted him regarding this particular request. The changelog for my packages is as follows: wine (1.2-0.1) unstable; urgency=low [ Stephen Kitt ] * Non-maintainer upload. * New upstream version. Closes: #585409, #589773. - winebrowser correctly passes URLs via DDE. Closes: #491186. * Include ptrace speedup to avoid lag in Steamworks-based games. * Now that stable has debhelper 7, use it: - use dh_lintian; - add ${misc:Depends}; - drop dh_desktop. * Install new utilities into libwine-bin: - attrib.exe; - mshta.exe; - ngen.exe; - ping.exe; - sc.exe. * Install new French and German translations of winemaker.1 into libwine-dev. * Install new NLS file into libwine. * Remove obsolete build dependencies (dependencies no longer present in stable). Closes: #578975. * Switch to 3.0 (quilt) source format and split existing patches. * Build on kfreebsd (thanks Tuco!). Closes: #591837. [ Ove Kaaven ] * Install function_grep.pl into libwine-dev, in /usr/share/wine, and modify winedump accordingly. Closes: #555645. * Replace @SUFFIX@ with current suffix in preprocessed maintainer scripts. * Add proper package suffixes to the installed reportbug control files. * Use "wine-safe start /unix" as the MIME handler for the application/x-msdos-program type. -- Stephen Kitt <steve@sk2.org> Thu, 05 Aug 2010 00:00:14 +0200 I realise this request utterly flies in the face of the "minimal changes" requirement, I'm not even the maintainer of the package, and Wine doesn't have any RC-bug filed against it; hence my initial comment. I'm at least hoping I won't waste too much of anyone's time... Regards, Stephen

Can we please see this version of wine in experimental first (instead the current 1.1.24-1), e.g. also with a version number as 1.2~exp0.1 or so? That would also allow us to judge the open issues (I have some symphathy for this request, but obviously it's quite late or even too late for squeeze.) Andi

Sorry for the delay, I was waiting to see if Ove answered. I've had packages ready on http://www.sk2.org/wine/ for a while, but they're probably not ready for experimental (apart from the wine package, but that needs wine-gecko). As it stands, the packages build an updated gcc-mingw32 based on gcc 4.5.0, and a replacement runtime for mingw32-runtime based on mingw-w64. This is where things get a bit complicated; Robert Millan's packages based on mingw-w64 have been orphaned, but they pretended to provide a build environment for mingw32msvc which doesn't match (or no longer matches, I'm not sure) the upstream usage which is w64-mingw32 (with x86_64 and i686 variants, which would become amd64 and i586 or i686 on Debian I guess). I could keep the existing targets and prepare packages for experimental, but given that gcc 4.5 won't be in squeeze (as I understand it), I thought it would be better to prepare a complete set of w64-mingw32 packages, with proper build dependencies on binutils-source and gcc-4.5-source. This would also help clearly differenciate the mingw32 and mingw-w64 packages. Thus the plan would be: 1. adopt mingw-w64 (I'll update #594371) 2. prepare binutils-mingw-w64 and gcc-4.5-mingw-w64 packages 3. update the mingw-w64 runtime (version 1.0 has been released) 4. update the wine-gecko 1.0.0 package 5. package wine-gecko 1.1.0 (this is required for wine-unstable 1.3.2) 6. update wine and wine-unstable I do know that Ove has a wine-gecko (1.0.0) package which builds using the existing mingw32-runtime, but it still needs an updated gcc-mingw32. I don't know if wine-gecko 1.1.0 builds with mingw32-runtime, but the official build instructions use mingw-w64. I also know that Ove has worked on moving the wine packaging in a new direction, so I wouldn't want to package wine against his wishes (but my wine package hardly changes his existing packaging at all). All in all it seems rather unrealistic to try hard now to get wine 1.2 into squeeze... Regards, Stephen

Agreed. However, it still would make sense to fix the issues in experimental - we need that anyways. Of course, only with an appropriate priority. Thanks for your effort. Andi

I brought this up a week ago. The blocker right now is getting gcc-4.5 into sid first. Once that's in place, hopefully Ove will be around to review and sponsor work, otherwise the MIA/orphaning process will need to be started. Mike

Ove already has wine/wine-unstable packages, so that's already what is planned. Note that 1.3.16 uses wine-gecko 1.2.0 which uses very different packaging compared to 1.0.0 and 1.1.0, so wine 1.2.2 is the current focus... I'm not sure though that allowing wine-unstable into testing would be a good idea, since testing is the next stable and I'm not sure we'd want to ship wine-unstable in stable. Regards, Stephen

Wine stable should be tried first and users should settle on it if it works with their applications, but when that doesn't work having wine-unstable to try easily even on a stable distribution is very useful and appreciated.

Just a quick update: I have packages ready, with the full toolchain and wine-gecko (so binutils-mingw-w64, gcc-mingw-w64, mingw-w64 and wine-gecko-1.0.0). I'm waiting for "Built-Using" to make it into dpkg-dev, since we need that information to comply with the GPL (or have FTP Masters add a kludge, which I don't expect would happen now that B-U is planned). If any potential sponsors are interested, the packages are on collab-maint, I can explain how to build everything (which I would do for an RFS to debian-mentors anyway). Regards, Stephen

Ah, so the mingw stuff is finally almost ready now? Took maybe longer than anticipated, but good work. If all you're going to need for that is some sponsoring, and you can't find anyone with some gcc packaging experience for that, then I suppose that's something I might do (though right now, I'll only possibly have time during the weekends, so if anyone else has better time, they may as well go ahead). Then maybe we can finally get back to making some Wine packages again... (And so you know, I'll probably finish the 1.1.x series instead of jumping straight to 1.2/1.3, partly because I already had done work on that, and partly because I think it's less risky. There'll be tons of changes in the packaging, and I prefer not to do it all at once - a mega-update might take forever to prepare and debug, while a series of minor updates is far more manageable, at least for me.)

Those are very good news. I think this is one of the most important packages for desktop users. It's a shame that I don't have any C or C++ experience for helping anybody.

Package: wine Version: 1.2-0.1 Severity: normal Hi Stephen, do you think you could update your packages to the recently released stable version 1.2.3? The first 1.2 release, 1.2.0, is already over half a year old and I don't think this version should go into Debian unstable. Thanks alot for the work so far. It's really annoying having to build wine myself each time a new version is released. Adrian

The attached files (repack.py and source.filter come from the iceweasel package) should allow the following get-orig-source to work: get-orig-source: uscan --download --destdir . --force-download I had it working earlier this week but I wanted to check some edge-cases, and unfortunately with the DEHS redirector currently unavailable the watch file no longer works. It's possible to invoke the repack.py file as follows (after downloading wine-mozilla-1.0.0.tar.bz2): python debian/repack.py -u 1.0.0+dfsg wine-mozilla-1.0.0.tar.bz2 This will produce a wine-gecko-1.0.0_1.0.0+dfsg.orig.tar.bz2 file (presuming "wine-gecko-1.0.0" is the source package's name indicated in debian/control). The script should also work with later releases of wine-gecko but I haven't checked it yet. Regards, Stephen

Dear Wine Debian Party and Ove in particular, Thank you for all your work for maintaining such a package as Wine. If there is any way (package something you need myself ;) ) I could encourage you to foster packaging of 1.2 stable wine (and updating wine-unstable to track 1.3) -- please let me know ;) Cheers, -- =------------------------------------------------------------------= Keep in touch www.onerussian.com Yaroslav Halchenko www.ohloh.net/accounts/yarikoptic

Hi, It seems we are still without 1.2 in Debian.

Stephen - do you need a sponsor for this package? I also have concerns about the fork between this package and the Ubuntu ones. Ending the fork could quickly bring Wine 1.2 and 1.3 in Debian.

* Antoine Beaupré: > It seems we are still without 1.2 in Debian. While I understand this > is a difficult project, after reading through the history of this bug > here, it seems to me that the package *may* ready to be uploaded... A few weeks ago, I took Ove's 1.1.35-1 package that I found at <git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-wine/wine.git> and tried to build 1.2.3 with it. Very few fixes were needed and there is only a small number of issues that probably can be fixed in the packaging scripts. In my opinion, it would be best for users to get a package called "wine" (not "wine-$version") into unstable as soon as possible. I can't imagine that users are interested in packages of upstream's snapshot releases from 2 years ago. > So what's the blocker here? Stephen - do you need a sponsor for this > package? Since there are a few people who have been able to build their own packages, perhaps it is time to turn packaging of Wine in Debian into a real team effort. Cheers, -Hilko

Stephen - do you need a sponsor for this > package? The blocker's effectively Ove - after I did what was necessary to get wine-gecko into Debian (with a sourceful rebuild, not just repackaging upstream's binaries) I was hoping Wine uploads would resume and we'd catch up with upstream within a reasonable timeframe. Unfortunately only four releases followed, packaging three upstream versions (1.1.33 to 1.1.35 inclusive), and since August there hasn't been any activity, including in the git repository. Ove's reason for uploading every single version of Wine is so that all versions of Wine end up available in the Debian snapshots archive, which can come in handy given that some Windows programs work better with older versions of Wine. It also means changes to the contents of Wine releases and packaging requirements can be made progressively. Unfortunately we're so far behind now that even with one release a day it would take a month and a half to catch up (10 remaining 1.1.x versions, 7 1.2 release candidates, 4 1.2.x versions and 34 1.3.x versions), not counting updating wine-gecko, and the effort involved seems enormous to me - at least I don't have the time and energy for that. What I can do though is update my Wine 1.2.x packages (see http://www.sk2.org/wine/wine_1.2.3-0.1.dsc for the current source) to use wine-gecko-unstable as it ended up in Debian - although I'd rather name the latter wine-gecko-1.0.0 (as used in my packages) since having wine ("-stable") depend on wine-gecko-unstable is a bit unfortunate. It would be nice if the existing packaging team on Alioth could be extended, but I don't know whether that's possible without Ove's approval (or an Alioth administrator's intervention). I've had offers of sponsorship in the past, but if you're up for it (or Hilko) I'd appreciate it. (But don't just sponsor the existing packages mentioned above!) The next step, assuming we skip all the intervening unstable versions, would be to update wine-gecko (which is going to be a whole new bundle of fun given the changes since 1.0.0) and package Wine 1.3.33. > I also have concerns about the fork between this package and the Ubuntu > ones.

I should really reply in detail to your separate bug report, but apart from the sound drivers I don't have any objection to merging all the binary packages back together. As far as taking Ubuntu's packaging is concerned, I haven't looked at it in detail; I'm not sure though that the wine-gecko packaging would be acceptable for Debian since it doesn't build from the provided source.

Couldn't this be greatly simplified if only the 1.2.x (stable) versions were uploaded? I assume the plan is to release wheezy with one of the stable wine releases (either 1.2.x or 1.4.x if its ready in time); thus nothing really needs to be done with wine-unstable (especially since that is never going into a stable Debian release); let's just work on wine.

Yes, that makes sense to me. 1.2.x isn't much use for gaming on ATI cards using the free drivers currently, but 1.4 should be out before Wheezy. Regards, Stephen

That's certainly one way to do it, and that's how it was done in the past, but the current approach seems to be separate wine-unstable package: http://packages.qa.debian.org/w/wine-unstable.html Not sure why one way or the other would be necessarily preferable. I suppose this way makes it possible to upload stable wine's to experimental first? Although I'm not sure why that would be necessary as those releases should be stable enough for unstable.

I don't care much. As long as there's a "wine" virtual package, people will find it. Ubuntu ships with wine-1.2 and wine-1.3.

I do not want to step over anybody's toes here. If Ove still wants to maintain this package, he should, but it looks like he's overwhelmed and doesn't have time to do it. I do not have much time either, but I can sponsor uploads, that seems easy enough. Plus, I think that the stuff from Ubuntu is great - we should look into that first.

Technically you're not supposed to upload major changes to packages in which you're not a team member (minor changes like NMUs are ok). So, I think the first step is for Ove to approve you as a team member, and that may require some work on your part (maybe preparing 1.1.36 would be good?). > Plus, I think that the stuff from Ubuntu is great - we should look into > that first.

I think the debian packaging is already of sufficient quality. It just needs to go through Ove's every release needs package process, and that's just tedious, but someone will need to do it.
