Hi!
Could we have the latest Wine uploaded to the repos?
The WineHQ website was offline in the weekend but friday they released Wine 0.9.40 and is available at Sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile … e_id=77449
Thanks

Could we have the new version?
The 41 version is coming and I would like to use the 40 because it removes some bug but I'm too lazy to compile

Wine releases very frequently, so the maintainer skips releases occasionally.
Since I build my own wine packages (just stock abs with the version field updated) as new versions are released, I can post my build when I get home.
Edit: I just ssh'd into my home computer. I was about to grab the file, but then I remembered...
CFLAGS="-mtune=k8 -O2 -pipe -msse3"
CXXFLAGS="-mtune=k8 -O2 -pipe -msse3"
So yeah, I'll set it to something a bit more generic... unless you have an SSE3 (PNI) enabled K8 processor. In which case, here you go.

I am building it with makepkg but I prefer when it's coming from the repo

I thought Arch was bent on fast updates? What's with the laziness?

0.9.41 came out already.
I am very very grateful to all maintainers and developers of arch ,but this frequent lack of uppgrades of wine package is getting on my nerves. If you look at dates of releasing wine you will see that most of releases are made every 2-3 weeks ,so it is not that frequent...

I don't like the tone you are using. The devs can't keep up with ALL packages. Instead of whine about the devs being slow, compile it yourself by downloading the PKGBUILD and edit the pkgrel.

And I do not like yours. Do not tell me obvious i that devs can't keep up with all pkgs and they are doing it for free - I am grateful. This doesen't change situation that since i started using arch wine is treated as a low priority package and almost always there is a 1-4 week delay. I just want and will point that out. Next thing i will try to commit myself to aur by providing current wine (+ eventual patches) starting as soon as i can which will be probably tommorow.

Did anyone manage to compile wine .40/.41 at all?
For some reason compilation fails here. Maybe that's part of the reason it isn't in the repos yet?

Sounds good!

Okay, it worked with current's toolchain.

Today I've compiled the latest wine with my pkgbuild and it's all fine!
I am always too excited to wait on the new package, for info I had a bug on the latest package, I don't know why but exe files weren't linked to Wine :S

Building and installing worked flawlessly, running applications as well.
A new and engaged maintainer for Arch's WINE packages would be appreciated I think - the delays are understandable but very annoying for some users.

It's my dream
If it is possible I would like to became maintainer for Wine...
Because I build them every time and the day itself...
But how to do?

I noticed a regression in the installer, San Andreas doesn't install anymore, a problem when drawing the windows asking for a link and to register.
Worked by ruiing install in windows mode...
But winecfg looks very weird now, it's horrible, fonts are big and bold and the windows is too big :S
Does someone have this issue on Wine 0.9.41?
Also, how can you be a maintainer?
Offline
You probably contact the current maintainer about taking over his job - would be the best way. Thereafter you can arrange it with the Arch team.
winecfg runs perfectly fine here.

Ok, will do it
Isn't winecfg looking anormal? I mean not like on other versions?

Fonts look like always, I haven't checked it on content - I guess your problem is limited to the distorted fonts?
Here the fonts are looking perfect, as said. I built it by myself.
Here's my PKGBUILD

As wine is in Extra, only another arch developer could take over maintaining the package.
There is however another possiblity : I think the 2-weekly releases of wine are actually snapshots of the git repository they use for development.
An aur package could build wine directly from the code in the git repo.
Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
(A works at time B) && (time C > time B ) ≠ (A works at time C)

That is not entirelly true. They do not do just a snapshot of git rep every 2 weeks. They actually made releases ,sometimes gap between releases is 10 days ,sometimes 18 or 20 days - 2 weeks is just average not policy. Wine is way too complex to just build it from the git for average use. Changes is wine code can break sometimes wine preety badly so using just snapshots by average user is not good idea - it is only for advanced user or devs. That's why releases are made before each - wine devs are trying to reduce risks of regress(which may break for example some windows app from working) made by some patches commited by devs. So for regular user using snapshots from git is not good idea.

Since I use linux I've always seen Wine released every two weeks on Friday...
Another possibility who I made before is create a personal repo that you could use
My pgbuild is identic, except that I've added fontforge to the deps...
