What is Wine Staging?
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
**Wine Staging** is the testing area of winehq.org. It contains bug fixes and
|
|
features, which have not been integrated into the development branch yet. The
|
|
idea of Wine Staging is to provide experimental features faster to end users and
|
|
to give developers the possibility to discuss and improve their patches before
|
|
they are integrated into the main branch. 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 carefully before adding them,
|
|
you may encounter additional bugs, which are not present in the development
|
|
branch. Do not hesitate to report such issues at winehq.org, so they can be
|
|
fixed before the feature gets integrated.

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).
