Debian stable's Wine is often fairly old. I wish there was an easier way to get a newer Wine on stable.
They're rejecting your reports because the issues are often fixed in newer versions - someone would have to re-confirm your reports on a newer version.
- RVuRnvbM2e 10y agoUh, what? There's an up-to-date repository here: https://wiki.winehq.org/Debian https://wiki.winehq.org/Debian
- Belphemur 10y agoYes but not all the user would have it set up. They surely consider that the majority of the users don't. Maybe the policy about rejecting debian reports came way before they setup the repository.
- voltagex_ 10y agoHah, wonder when that was set up (wiki suggests Jan 2016). The last time I used Wine in earnest, you had to wget a whole lot of debs and manually install them. Kudos to the project for making it a whole lot easier to stay up to date.
- gpderetta 10y agoPlayOnLinux? It is a bit frowned upon and gaming oriented, but it offers one click install of any wine version, including unstable, with the ability of having multiple versions installed at the same time. I run it on top of Debian testing.
- bblough 10y ago> They're rejecting your reports because the issues are often fixed in newer versions Sure, newer versions fix bugs from older versions. But they don't delete/archive the old reports after a new release, so the reports that are there are already a mix of supported and unsupported versions anyway. So, I don't see the harm in accepting new reports against older versions, particularly when old versions are still found several major distros (particularly the LTS versions of those distros)
