I plan to take on backports for wine-related packages post-bullseye, but of course anyone else's interest in helping out is appreciated, particularly for upload sponsorship. https://lists.debian.org/debian-wine/2021/03/msg00011.html signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Hi On 25.04.21 16:27, Adrian Bunk wrote: > bullseye users would also benefit more from wine 6.0 in > bullseye-backports [not commenting on the whole issue] I maintained the wine backports in the past, but stepped down (https://lists.debian.org/debian-wine/2020/09/msg7.html). But I agree that having them is very valuable. So this is a call for new wine backporters! Greets jre

Source: wine-development Version: 5.6-2 Severity: serious wine-development has already missed the deadline for bullseye, but IMHO this is a good thing and it should be removed from Debian. There is only limited value in having the ancient development release 4.2 in buster today, users would have benefitted more from wine 5.0 in buster-backports when it entered testing in January 2020. bullseye users would also benefit more from wine 6.0 in bullseye-backports than they would have from wine-development 5.5 or 5.6 in bullseye. For development purposes the normal way to maintain development releases would be a version of wine in experimental.
