Please unblock package winetricks PROBLEM The program contains hard coded URLs to download more software easily for WINE (like IE8). Unfortunately many sites (like Microsoft) changed their web pages and the URLs are no longer valid. WHAT IS FIXED The current debian package contains latest upstream code with fixes to the URLs. Without this update, users will encounter problems in trying to download software. There are no workarounds. COMMENT I've opened an issue upstream to propose future improvement that would separate metadata from the code: http://code.google.com/p/winetricks/issues/detail?id=262 but it will not be available for Debian release. I've not attached debdiff because this is a new upstream release and changes to the code would be extensive. unblock winetricks/0.0+20120826+svn907-1 -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.5-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
