Because I compile the CVS sources on my machine for testing and did not
have a significant testing base for many other configurations.
(heard it to work on Voodoo3 too though).
I know I was a bit sloppy filling out the initial request (was going to
update this sometime today).
Anyway, this has become theory now.
We just got a mail from the TransGaming CEO Gavriel State to request the
withdrawal of the ITP.
Without fueling the wine discussions that spawned over the license of
Wine over the last months, the mail was a friendly "hammer and anvil"
mail ;)
He made a couple of obvious points why and how this debian release would
damage their business and possible confusion, ...
He also mentioned the possibility to change the license to explicitly
forbid the distribution of binaries.
Furthermore, I think we should respect their wishes at this point since,
and I guess you would agree with this, WineX is not one of the top on
the list packages for a typical debian-user.
I admire the Wine/WineX/CrossOver/Lindows/... efforts but am not fully
up to speed with the latest details on the license discussions that
spawned over the last months.
If the policy of TransGaming were to change over time (I believe there
was something as a minimal subscriber base), I will be available to take
up the package again.
