What is Wine Staging?
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
**Warning: Do not report bugs at bugs.winehq.org when using this version!
|
|
Please take a look at our
|
|
[Wiki](https://github.com/wine-compholio/wine-staging/wiki/Reporting-bugs)
|
|
for more information about how to report bugs.**
|
|
|
|
**Wine Staging** (formerly wine-compholio) is a special wine version containing
|
|
bug fixes and features that are not yet available in regular wine versions. The
|
|
idea behind Wine Staging is to provide new features faster to end users and to
|
|
give developers the possibility to discuss and improve their patches before
|
|
they are sent upstream. We also intend to create a community of wine developers
|
|
to share experience and to make it easier for beginners to start hacking on
|
|
wine.
|
|
|
|
Although we are reviewing all patches before adding them, you may encounter
|
|
additional bugs, which are not present in regular wine. Make sure to report
|
|
such issues in our bug tracker instead of winehq.org so that we can try to
|
|
solve them in future versions. Thanks!

How to install and use Wine Staging
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
Ready-to-use packages for Wine Staging are available for a variety
|
|
of different Linux distributions directly for download. Just follow the
|
|
instructions available on the
|
|
[Wiki](https://github.com/wine-compholio/wine-staging/wiki/Installation).
|
|
|
|
When using Wine Staging there are a few differences compared to regular
|
|
Wine. The main difference is that it is not sufficient to type `wine` to
|
|
run it, but instead you will have to type `/opt/wine-compholio/bin/wine`.
|
|
Besides that there are also some other differences, for example additional
|
|
configuration options to tweak performance, which are not available in regular
|
|
Wine. All those differences are also documented on the
|
|
[Wiki](https://github.com/wine-compholio/wine-staging/wiki/Usage).
