Package: wine-development Version: 1.7.24-3 Severity: wishlist --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Hi, to solve many issues related to the new wine-development packages with the -development suffix) I suggest the following: 1.) stable branch: provide binaries/manpages with suffix -stable (e.g. /usr/bin/wine-stable|winecfg-stable|...) 2.) development branch: provide binaries/manpages with suffix -development (e.g. /usr/bin/wine-development|winecfg-development|...) 3.) both branches: provide wine without a suffix using Debian's alternative system, e.g. /usr/bin/wine --> /usr/bin/wine-stable /usr/bin/winecfg --> /usr/bin/winecfg-stable Perhaps this was already what you intended to do, don't know. I had this idea when I saw your recent suffix additions (before seeing that they break wine internals) and suddenly realized that extending this to the stable branch should make implementing Debian's alternative system really easy. Before I thought about implementing it by directly linking to the files in /usr/lib/. This would solve #758290 (wineapploader scripts like winecfg),#758176 (Desktop launchers), #750880 (winetricks) and any other 3rd party problems (e.g. playonlinux can't use system's wine-development).
