<p>This quarter has seen seven updates to the
<tt>wine-devel</tt> port that closely tracks upstream
development as well as updates to its helper ports
(<tt>wine-gecko-devel</tt> and <tt>wine-mono-devel</tt>):</p>
<ul>
<li>Stable releases: 1.6.2 (1 port revision)</li>
<li>Development releases: 1.7.40 through 1.7.46</li>
</ul>
<p>The <tt>i386-wine-devel</tt> port has packages built for amd64 for
&os; 8.4, 9.1+, 10.1+ and CURRENT.</p>
<p>Accomplishments include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Rename <tt>wine-compholio</tt> to
<tt>wine-staging</tt> (to match upstream developments).</li>
</ul>
<p>Future development on Wine will focus on:</p>
<ul>
<li>Add the <tt>getdirentries(2)</tt> patch to the wine-devel port.</li>
<li>Redevelop and upstream the <tt>getdirentries(2)</tt> patch.</li>
<li>Redevelop and upstream the kernel32 <tt>Makefile</tt> patch.</li>
<li>Add support to the <tt>i386-wine</tt> port for pkg 1.5 (library
conflicts currently prevent support).</li>
<li>Add support for WoW64:
<ul>
<li>Reduce the <tt>i386-wine</tt> port to just the components
required for WoW64.</li>
<li>Rename the <tt>i386-wine</tt> port to
<tt>wow64</tt>.</li>
<li>Make the wine ports depend on the wow64 ports when built
on amd64.</li>
<li>Investigate and verify the interactions between Wine64
and WoW64.</li>
<li>Investigate possible update approaches for the
wow64 ports (that have to be pre-compiled) and how updating
with the wine ports will work.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p> Maintaining and improving Wine is a major undertaking
that directly impacts end-users on &os; (including many
gamers). If you are interested in helping please contact us.
We will happily accept patches, suggest areas of focus or have
a chat.</p>
