Hi everyone, I've prepared packages of gcc-mingw32 4.5.0, a snapshot of mingw-w64, wine-gecko 1.0.0 and wine 1.2; they are available on http://www.sk2.org/wine/ along with everything needed to rebuild them (build gcc-mingw32 first, then mingw-w64, wine-gecko and wine).
I've already attempted to contact Ove and the Wine packaging team but have not received any response so far. Given the time of year it's possible everyone involved is on holiday! Since there is some unrest around having newer versions of Wine in Debian, and since I'd done most of the work already, I thought I'd send this announcement and avoid unnecessary duplicate work. gcc-mingw32 and ming-w64 are just the minimum required to build wine-gecko; I'm not sure they're appropriate for replacing the existing Mingw32-based packages in Debian. I haven't contacted the people involved yet. wine-gecko itself works on i386, and as far as I can determine on amd64 (at least the Steam browser works). It should probably end up with the version in the package name, to allow multiple versions to be installed in parallel (for instance if future versions of wine-unstable use a newer version of wine-gecko, once wine-unstable becomes installable alongside wine). The wine package includes everything in Ove's git tree, and newer programs shipped in Wine 1.2. The changelog is complete, but doesn't list upstream's change summaries as Ove usually does. I'd appreciate your feedback! Regarding #591837, the provided patch doesn't work but it may be possible that Wine 1.2 builds as-is on kfreebsd-i386.
