<p>This quarter has seen five updates to the
<tt>wine-devel</tt> port that closely tracks upstream
development, as well as updates to 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: 1.7.34 through 1.7.39</li>
</ul>
<p>A major development has been the introduction of Wine64
(i.e., the ability to run 64-bit Windows applications). This
is currently available through the wine-devel port. At this
stage it is currently mutually exclusive with the
i386-wine-devel port, however we have plans to intregate these
ports to offer a full Wine experience on amd64. The
i386-wine-devel port has packages built for amd64 for &os;
8.4, 9.1+, 10.1+ and CURRENT.</p>
<p>Accomplishments include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Upstreaming 8 patches to fix Wine on &os; &mdash; many
thanks to Gerald and David.</li>
<li>Optional support for V4L has been added to the stable
<tt>emulators/wine</tt> port.</li>
<li>Optionally building wine with the X composite extension
(if one selects the X11 option).</li>
<li>Support for alternative toolchains that require
<tt>LD</tt> to be honoured.</li>
<li>Fixing and tidying up the pkg-plist.</li>
<li>Wine64 support</li>
<li>Updating the patch-nvidia.sh script to support
arbitary suffixes.</li>
<li>Removing support for the old pkg_ tools from
patch-nvidia.sh.</li>
<li>Developing a patch to fix usage of getdirentries(2).
This fixes Steam, EVE Online and other applications.</li>
</ul>
<p>We would like to thank all volunteers who contributed
feedback and patches.</p>
<p>Future development on Wine will focus on:</p>
<ul>
<li>Rename <tt>wine-compholio</tt> to
<tt>wine-staging</tt> (to match upstream development).</li>
<li>Add the getdirentries(2) patch to the
<tt>wine-devel</tt> port.</li>
<li>Redevelop and upstream the getdirentries(2) patch.</li>
<li>Redevelop and upstream the kernel32 Makefile patch.</li>
<li>Add support to the <tt>i386-wine</tt> port for pkg 1.5
(conflicts with libraries 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 i386-wine port to wow64.</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>
