Also Khaled Hosny no longer maintains that patch nor is he going to work on another patch for wine. As mentioned in [1] this patch causes the size of wine to increase, so it will be hard to convince Ubuntu to use this patch in their wine package. Anyways, it would be useful if someone would try with them. Since I am not actually interested in wine, I won't be doing it. So I have been thinking of an idea to make the same wine source pacage generate an extra couple of packages for arabic support (say wine-arabic & wine-arabic-dev). I had a look today on the patch in [1], if someone can modify it so that I can pass some option (let's call it --enable-icu) so that if ICU is enabled, the unpatched code will be compiled, otherwise the patched code will be compiled, then this would be splendid. Btw, there's another issue. Ojuba is distributing the development (1.1) release of wine, while Ubuntu is distributing the stable (1.0) release.
