Debian Packages Almost Ready

Debian packages are almost done.  I have them up for testing.

Add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://tuzakey.com/~scott/ binary/
deb-src http://tuzakey.com/~scott/ source/


My friend's webserver can't handle the huge bandwidth permanent hosting
of packages like this will require, so if there's a way we could put
them up on winehq it would be nice.  I'd like to have an apt repository
here, so installing the latest debian wine package would be as simple as
adding something like the above line to sources.list and then doing
things as normal.

What would be ideal, of course, is if the package could be included in
the Debian distribution itself.  I've yet to hear back from Ove (the
current maintainer of the package), and unless he's disappeared entirely
there's really nothing that can be done until he decides to update the
package or orphan it, as Debian maintainers have total control over
their packages.

Ubuntu is a different matter, however, and I may be able to get an
Ubuntu version included much quicker.

If you're a Debian/Ubuntu user, test out the packages and tell me if I
left anything out.


Thanks,
Scott Ritchie
