What is the status of this ITP opened 2010-10-03, 6 months ago? To my
understanding winetricks:
- is DFSG compliant. The current license is GPL.
- does not depend on external programs outside of Debian.
- is a single utility that helps quite a bit to install WINE related
software much easier.
- has nothing to do with WINE package itself, so bundling it would
not be good. Winetricks update schedule is different from WINE.
- There is no sense of making integration "packages for WINE" like
those of Perl and Python, because WinE/Windows is too unstable
platform to target at.
Could we just package it as is for the benefit of the users?
