The Wine on &os; project has been steadily forging ahead for + the past three quarters and has updated the ports for the following + versions:

+ +

Stable releases: 1.6.2 (3 port revisions)
Development releases: 1.7.16 through 1.7.33

+ +

The ports have packages built for amd64 (available through the + ports emulators/i386-wine and i386-wine-devel) for &os; 8.4, 9.1+, + 10.0+ and CURRENT.

+ +

Accomplishments include:

+ +

Upstreaming 33 patches to fix Wine on &os; — many + thanks to Gerald for this work.
Migrating to the USES framework.
Building Wine with the X compositing extension.
Adding support for MPG123 and V4L.
Backporting changes made to the -devel ports to the stable + ones and fixing minutiae here and there.
Creating a new Wine port for the Compholio patches.
Changing i386-wine(-devel) to set the + LD_LIBRARY_PATH_RPATH variable.
Improving library bundling for i386-wine(-devel).
Various improvements to the patch-nvidia.sh script for + i386-wine(-devel).
Various smaller changes.

+ +

We would like to thank all volunteers who contributed feedback + or even patches. We would also like to welcome kmoore@ to the Wine + team. He has been extensively involved in bring wine-compholio to the + Ports Collection.

+ +

Future development on Wine will focus on:

+ +

Creating a 64-bit capable port of Wine (aka Wine64).
Creating a WoW64 capable port of Wine (aka Wine + Wine64).
Fixing directory listing on &os; 8 and 9.

+ +

Maintaining and improving Wine is a major undertaking that + directly impacts end-users on &os; (including many gamers). If you + are interested in helping please contact us. We will happily accept + patches, suggest areas of focus or have a chat.
