Comment 16 for bug 43324

Having recently obtained access to a 64 bit virtual machine, I was able to attempt making a proper 64 bit package today.

I combined elements of Chris Halse Rogers hack with an email I got from Ken Geis. I'll be uploading the 64 bit packages for Feisty to the winehq APT repository sometime tomorrow for proper testing. Hopefully they'll soon be able to make their way into backports.

As for \sh's concerns about Wine being built as a 32 bit application, don't fret: the upstream plan is for Wine to ALWAYS support 32 bit applications. Once win64 is working properly, Wine will be built with both 64 bit and 32 bit library support. For this reason there's no need for a separate 32 bit Wine package, as such a package will ultimately just be a subset of the 64 bit one (when it actually can be made to work upstream).

Thank you everyone,
Scott Ritchie
