Hi All,
I am getting a lot of fix notices on Wine bugs I have
reported. Problem: EPEL only will spin the even numbered
releases and Wine is on 1.7. (I have asked EPEL to spin
1.7, but got no response.)
Anyone know of a spin for 1.7 out there that they trust?
Many thanks,

Wine is SOO buggy. It is nice to finally get some
bugs fixed, especially since some of them are over two
years old.

Hi Yasha,
I have looked at Code Weavers several times. It is just
Wine with some fancy eye candy. When you want a bug
fixed, you have to pay for it and I am a one man shop
not capable of spending that kind of money. (With what
I could spend, they could maybe work on it for 45 minutes.)
I use KVM for my virtual machines and do wind up having
to run some Windows code inside them. Mostly in XP,
as I find Windows 7 (W7) and Frankenstein 8 (F8) to be a tad
on the SSLOOWW side. Buggy too.

Oh man F8 is a stinker!
Oh my goodness, I just counted all my virtual machines.
I am up to twelve now! Yikes.
