Hello, I'm an user of Debian since 10 years ago and it's only now that i decide to help to packaging. I send this email about wine and wine-development package which are not updated since a very long time.
The last wine stable version on Sid is the 5.0 and development version is 6.0+repack. Currently, the wine source code is frozen and the new stable version 7.0 will release next month. --> I sent email to Michael Gilbert (without answer from him) and open a bug report recently to update package. Same thing with vkd3d package 1.2 which is still in "experimental" since a long time too. I think it's not in Unstable because the test fail with mesa-vulkan-driver >= 21 (see changelog) --> I open a bug report upstream about this failure (see https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52248). Is it possible to build the package without to do test (set --disable-tests to configure) ? Nowadays, the last package of wine-development was uploaded ~6 months ago. More bugs report opened the last months have no answer from Maintainer (999753, 995580), same thing with vkd3d bug (994186, 993570) I packaged myself vkd3d 1.2-7 and wine-development 7.0~rc2 and all works correctly. I updated debian folder for wine to prepare the next Stable version. My question is, how to contribute and hope to have updated version of this package in Debian since I am a novice ? Thanks for your answer, Maxime
