Debian packages of Wine

[Paul Bryan Roberts]

Maurilio is doing a great job providing Lenny packages for Wine.

The site at http://wine.x.pl has been providing Wine packages for Etch for some time.  x86 only I'm afraid.  The site's author is very modest but I believe it's a chap named James Huk who used to send messages to the wine-user mailing list letting people know he'd put up a new package.

James claimed his packages work under Lenny as well as Etch and I have used them this way before Maurilio started putting up packages built specifically for Lenny.  Is there really that much difference ?

I'm puzzled by the sizes of the packages.  Packages for Debian by Maurilio and James are 13-14 Mb to download whereas Ubuntu packages by Scott are only 7-8 Mb. Anyone see any reason for this ?

Cheers,
PBR
