MX 17 & 18 Repository: The wine-staging thread

[mmikeinsantarosa]

We're up to wine-staging-4.3 in the test repo now.

There were 45 bugs fixed in this release and it comes with a new wine-mono4.8.0.

There's an optional build depends faudio that isn't available from debian yet. It doesn't keep wine-staging from installing or running but the new functionality that would be provided by this depends isn't available yet.

Feel free to check the wine announcement page for more info.

Thanks, Mike! We appreciate your staying on top of these.

Turns out that one of the wine-staging patches reverts the need for faudio back to xaudio, which is a good idea since faudio has not been packaged for any Debian plus almost no mainstream distros yet. It is in Debian "new" though, for evaluation.

The result of the configure shows we could add libvkd3d-dev to "provide an API similar to Direct3D 12 built on top of the Vulkan library", as well as libavcodec-dev for some other feature, though.
