Chapter 4. Packaging Strategies

There has recently been a lot of discussion on the Wine development mailing
list about the best way to build Wine packages.

There was a lot of discussion, and several diverging points of view. This
section of the document attempts to present the areas of common agreement, and
also to present the different approaches advocated on the mailing list.

4.1. Distribution of Wine into packages

The most basic question to ask is given the Wine CVS tree, what physical files
are you, the packager, going to produce? Are you going to produce only a
wine.rpm (as Marcus has done), or are you going to produce 6 Debian files
(libwine, libwine-dev, wine, wine-doc, wine-utils and winesetuptk) as Ove has
done?

At this point, there is no consensus amongst the wine-devel community on this
subject.
