I already have ones for Fedora on the OBS, though we're not officially distributing them yet (still need to create Debian/Ubuntu ones). All they do is install the prebuilt .msi files to /usr/share/mono and /usr/share/gecko.
I'd suggest for winehq wine-mono/wine-gecko packages to install to /opt,
not /usr. Otherwise you'd quickly run into the need for new lists of
"Conflicts:" and similar.
For this to work I think we just need to slightly adjust
dlls/appwiz.cpl/addons.c. Vincent already referenced in another mail
the comments found there:
/*
* Try to find addon .msi file in following order:
* - directory stored in $dir_config_key value of
HKCU/Software/Wine/$config_key key
* - $datadir/$addon_subdir/
* - $INSTALL_DATADIR/wine/$addon_subdir/
* - /usr/share/wine/$addon_subdir/
* - download from URL stored in $url_config_key value of
HKCU/Software/Wine/$config_key key
*/
So maybe just add code for /opt/$addon_subdir/ before "download"?
