What is Wine Staging?
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
**Warning: Do not report bugs at bugs.winehq.org when using this version!
|
|
Please take a look [here](http://bugs.wine-staging.com) for more information
|
|
about how to report bugs.**
|
|
|
|
**Wine Staging** (formerly wine-compholio) is a special wine version containing
|
|
bug fixes and features, which are not yet available in regular wine versions.
|
|
The idea of 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. More information about Wine Staging can also be found on our website
|
|
[wine-staging.com](http://wine-staging.com).
|
|
|
|
Although we are reviewing and testing all patches before adding them, you may
|
|
encounter additional bugs, which are not present in vanilla 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-staging/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).
