Hi Raphaël, the users can already use (depending whether wine or wine-development is used): wine wineconsole myprogram.exe wine-development wineconsole myprogram.exe As sysadmin you may simply add a link (that's exactly what would be done in the packaging): /usr/bin/wineconsole -> /usr/bin/wine-wrapper /usr/bin/wineconsole-development -> /usr/lib/wine-development/wineapploader Now, for the packaging. This should work for every exe[.so] in /usr/lib/*/wine[-development]/[fakedlls] (in source: ./programs/, I'm not sure if there are more places). Generally we should't litter /usr/bin/ with too many links. Currently we have the following links to wineapploader: /usr/bin/regedit /usr/bin/regsvr32 /usr/bin/wineboot /usr/bin/winecfg /usr/bin/winedbg /usr/bin/winefile /usr/bin/winepath /usr/bin/wineconsole last existed in squeeze. Although I never used it, it sounds like wineconsole should be available directly (and its manpage installed). Opinions? Add/Remove anything else?
