Thanks a lot for the thumbs up. So far I used the wine-development packaging and use it for wine-stable, too (all packages for the upstream stable release get added a suffix "-stable"). It seems I just have to omit some patches, otherwise it will work fine. Currently I can build -development and -stable on amd64 and get packages with working alternatives :) The only real blocker for now is to add Conflicts/Replaces and transitional packages for wine --> wine-stable. I will do that probably tomorrow. With -stable I got more lintian warnings and even errors then for -development. That's the 2nd next thing on my TODO. Further the current packaging lacks the manpages. Those have to be readded. Do you have something pending for this task, or should I look into it? Once the manpages are back again, I'll readd them to the alternatives system. Questions: 1.) I guess it is ok to use the -development packaging for -stable, too. And to rename wine-->wine-stable. If not: please tell me ASAP! 2.) Does anybody know whether this change (wine-->wine-stable) counts as an transition and thus is subject to the freeze stage on September 5th: On 07/05/2014 09:37 AM, Niels Thykier wrote: > Freeze reminder <FREEZE> > ======================== > > We are quickly approaching the freeze, which is about ~4 months away! > > * In two months (5th of Sep), we will close down for transitions!

Currently there are 2 branches: "jessie" based on 1.6.2-7, and "wine-1.6.2" containing 1.6.2-8. I couldn't check out the latter one, probably because the branch name is the same as some tag. Can anybody tell me how to do that?
