[Request] wine-tkg-staging-(fsync)-wow64-git #3346

Closed FZXizzbKv7jg closed 1 month ago

FZXizzbKv7jg commented 1 month ago

Package:

At the moment, a build is offered in the AUR. See https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wine-tkg-staging-wow64-bin

Purpose:

The Chaotic AUR already offers official and TkG-based Wine builds, but TkG-based builds are currently offered without WoW64 support. The advantages of the feature are well known. The combination of staging with an experimental feature such as WoW64 makes a lot of sense.

Benefits:

TkG based staging build with (still experimental) WoW64 Support.

Building:

No response

Copyright:

LGPL-2.1-or-later.

Expected Interest:

Everyone

Already available?

Yes

Unique request?

No

wine-tkg packages are not in the v3 package lists. They appear to be built by special routine. They may not be carried forward to v4.

Closing because wine-staging-wow64-git is already available. Looks like wine-tkg packages will be discontinued when switching to v4 repo.

If fsync can be enabled with a configure flag without interfering with normal function, I wouldn't mind adding it. Otherwise, figuring out how to patch and build wouldn't be worth the effort.

Accept your decision. FYI my opinion:

Since GE builds become deprecated, there's umu now replacing both GE wine and proton builds if I'm right. These two builds are dropped, umu is provided further, I suppose.

In order to continue to offer patched wine version, you may carry forward tkg based wine builds. You may also drop wine-tkg-staging-fsync-git and provide the requested build instead. Esp. as staging build this would fit well.

Finally, I personally don't use vanilla wine builds for months. Custom builds such as umu and tkg in combination with patched zen kernel are preferred. Just a feedback and suggestion to even drop vanilla wine builds and just provide umu and tkg further instead.

For the future, there might be situations where community based builds with patches will be even more necessary. It might be not bad to go for community builds such as tkg and umu owc.

In conclusion, I'd prefer community builds over official builds.

I understand your perspective. The problem is the effort needed to provide the additional packages. The patching looks more complicated than I can manage.
