Wine allows running Windows programs on FreeBSD.
This quarter we focused on the wine-devel port that tracks mainline development, followed half a dozen of version updates, simplified the port, removed three options (SDL, VKD3D, VULKAN) which are unconditionally active now, and fixed a number of portability issues.
These changes will make their way into the primary Wine port over the coming weeks.
After working on our Wine ports for more than 21 years, maintaining for more than 19 years, time has come to hand over the baton.
Luckily Damjan has stepped up and is going to look after wine-devel and associated ports - thanks! Help with the following is still very welcome:
-
Maintain daily (or at least regular) test builds of upstream Wine. This quarter this triggered two dozen fixes in support of FreeBSD upstream, though usually it’s quite less effort.
