Package: wine Version: 0.9-1 Severity: wishlist I wonder why there are two debian packages of wine. The official package is at version 0.9, whereas the upstream debian package from Scott Ritchie (see http://www.winehq.com/site/download, Debian) is at version 0.9.4, which is the most recent snapshot. There are considerable delays for the official wine packages, and it is a burden for casual desktop users to add a new repository line in synaptic. I have read on your homepage that you work for Transgaming since Nov 2004, and assume that your workload has increased quite a bit, so I understand the delays, and thanks for all the work. As there is an active upstream maintainer of wine for Ubuntu and Debian, I would like you both to work together on this issue, this would be great! And I would suggest a non-free debian package which could be bought from Transgaming for recent game titles, so users have sensible options. I like to play older ones (mostly Direct3D 6-7) and Pirates, so I am satisfied with the free package. In 0.9.3 the audio drivers ALSA and JACK got some work, which I need. OSS has fixes in the most recent snapshot 0.9.4 as well. There are issues with 0.9.4 (Photoshop if I remember right), so I would suggest 0.9.3 for testing and 0.9.4 for unstable (or 0.9.4 only for experimental, if these are serious issues).
