Wine

About

Wine is an open source implementation of the windows api ontop of X and opengl. The official homepage is located at http://winehq.org. The packages I maintain are split up to allow for smaller installations. Normal users utilizing the Fedora repository should be able to use yum to install the packages.

yum install wine

This will install the wine meta package containing a standard set of dependencies. Expert users that want certain specific wine packages to be installed can choose from the list below:

For debugging purposes wine-debuginfo is also available in the debug repositories. Additional documentation is provided via the wine-docs package.

Reporting Bugs

Before reporting bugs against wine please make sure your system is up-to-date.

yum upgrade

Also check if a newer version is available in updates-testing

yum --enablerepo=updates-testing upgrade wine

Please make sure before reporting bugs that you have at least the wine meta package (+ dependencies) installed

Then check in the Wine Application Database http://appdb.winehq.org if your application is supported and the bug is a packaging bug and not a bug/missing feature in wine.

The next step is to check in the above list if your packaging bug has already been reported.

If you are using the proprietary graphic drivers from ati or nvidia please remove them from your system and try again as they are known to cause problems.

The next step is to see if the problem persists with a clean ~/.wine folder. To try this without losing your old configuration do something like

mv ~/.wine ~/.wine-save

Afterwards try to trigger the bug again. Your original wine folder can be restored with

rm -fr ~/.wine; mv ~/.wine-save ~/.wine

If your application still does not work but has been working in a previous version of wine it is probably a regression. Take a look a the http://appdb.winehq.org/ wine application database and consider filling a bug in the winehq bugzilla http://bugs.winehq.org/.

If you really thing that your bug is packaging related fill a bug against the wine component at https://bugzilla.redhat.com.
