wine packages for Fedora Extras

[Andreas Bierfert]

Hi,

some of you might have noticed that building 0.9.16 for Fedora Extras took me
more time then the releases before. This was because of the discussions from a
couple of weeks ago on this list. As a result I did spent some time on the
mentioned issues and came across an easy solution:

If you install wine form the Fedora Extras repository via 'yum install wine'
nearly everything that would be in a monolithic package is going to be
installed. The 'wine' package now is a meta-package containing requires for
the various subpackages. So now 'normal' users who do a 'yum install wine'
will get everything they need and experts who know what they are doing can
go and install only the parts they want. I hope that this solution now leads to
fewer 'false positives' on bug reports and for better user integration and
satisfies some of the things you, the wine folks, brought up.

Thanks for the input on this matter. I hope that this is only the first step
towards a good relation ship between wine and the fedora packages for wine and
that emails like the ones from a couple of weeks back won't happen again...

So for the announcement: 

wine 0.9.16 for Fedora Extras 3,4,5,devel is build and should be pushed to the
mirrors in a couple of hours.

- Andreas
