Option to install different Wine versions. #18

Closed junocomp closed 7 years ago

Loving the App!

Would it be possible to have the option to install different versions of Wine just like PlayOnLinux?

Right now as far as I know, Bottles only has support for wine-1.6.2 (Ubuntu repository) which is an old version.

First of all Thanks :smile: Next.. bottles doesn't support one specific wine version. It use the one coming with the system, so the 1.6.2 at this time.

Please read this and this.

I see what you are saying, but WineHQ offers official and stable repositories to wine-stable which I think it could be included to Bottles.

Running modern apps on Wine 1.6 might not work at all.

I understand and agree. So PPA need to be updated because elementary doesn't support third party PPAs. In any case, it may work by installing wine-devel.
