Migrate to wine1.6 and remove old wine things from archive

[Scott Ritchie]

Wine has a new stable release that requires migrating some of its dependent packages.

Uploaded now are:
wine1.6
wine-mono0.0.8
wine-gecko2.21

Please delete:
wine1.4
wine-gecko1.4

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Scott Ritchie (scottritchie)]

It seems these were uploaded about an hour after Feature Freeze :/ So, this is also a feature freeze exception request. Wine is currently a leaf package, and is also engineered to be backwards compatible and regression free from one stable release to the next, so I don't see any significant difficulties.

Wine releases in general are pretty much bugfix-only releases, so I feel like this qualifies for that part of the FFE process.

As of today, 2-Oct-2013, none of the versions of wine are installable, including 1.5 and 1.6.
I am running Saucy, but if I switch to the Raring PPA, terrible things happen. Attempts to install announce that wine will install, but at the same time remove about 3 dozen necessary (and unrelated to wine) packages.

Unfortunately, getting around to reviewing this just came way too late, and I'm really sorry about that. I'm going to have to reject these uploads from the saucy queue, but would request that they land in 14.04 pretty much on opening day, and I'll quickly review, do the removals, etc, so there's some time to bake and test the lot.

Unsubscribing ~ubuntu-archive for now, please re-subscribe once wine1.6 is in the archive and 1.4 is ready to be removed.

[Stéphane Graber (stgraber)]

Unsubscribing ~ubuntu-release since that didn't make it into saucy.

[Scott Ritchie (scottritchie)]

After some further modifications, I have now uploaded new packages for Trusty:

wine1.6
wine-gecko2.21
wine-mono0.0.8

[Kai Mast (kai-mast)]

where are those packages? I can only find wine1.4 in trusty[-proposed].

[Scott Ritchie (scottritchie)]

They are sitting in the NEW queue waiting for an archive admin to approve them.
