wine-multi -- multiple wine versions side by side

ever updated wine to find that <application X> doesn't work ?  ever noticed how some apps in the wine appdb are PLATINUM with one version of wine and GARBAGE with another?  here's the solution for all you archites.

download this PKGBUILD, and change the pkgversion to whichever wine version you need to install, makepkg, pacman -U wine-multi-<tab> and you're good to go!

just make sure you read the install output

wine-multi.tar.gz

[edit]
Apologies,  it seems my tld domain owner let the domain expire, I have registered a new one, it should work now

Re: wine-multi -- multiple wine versions side by side

hello again everyone, I've been building wine-multi packages for a while, and I figgure since I'm building so many packages, I should host a repo so others can share.  problem is hosting.  if someone can contribute reliable hosting, I'll build every release from 0.9 to current, and keep them up to date as arch updates require
