Bug #: 34299
Summary: http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu incorrectly
identifies the Ubuntu PPA as WineHQ's
Product: WineHQ.org
Version: unspecified
Platform: x86
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: www-unknown
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: dimesio at earthlink.net
Classification: Unclassified
That page states:
"Ubuntu's default repository includes Wine, however if you want to stay up to
date with the latest Wine package you can use WineHQ's by following these
instructions."
That wording leads users to believe that the PPA is under the control of WineHQ
when it is not. As a result, bugs don't get reported promptly to the package
maintainer and users expect support on the forum for any problem they may have
installing Wine packages. When told otherwise, many choose to argue, pointing
to the wording on that page. I can't really blame them.
