[SOLVED] Can't install stable wine

[gurgle]

Hi everyone
Sorry but I have searched for a few hours on how to do this and can only find out the opposite!

I am trying to install the latest stable Wine (v1.4) but Fedora will only install the testing version (1.5). I'm running F16, I've checked that enabled=0 for all the entries in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo



Not sure what else to and it's driving me crazy! I just want to play one of my favourite Windows 3.1 games.

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried Wine 1.5? Does it work? Unless you are having actual problems with it I wouldn't waste any time worrying about it.

"yum provides wine" tells me that 1.3.29 is the original F16 version, and 1.5.0 is the current latest update. I don't know if there were any 1.4 releases in the repos in between, but if so you might be able to work back to them with "yum downgrade wine".

Yeah my game doesn't work with 1.5 unfortunately. I haven't heard of the 'yum downgrade' command, I'll give that a burl.

Thanks a bunch

OK so this page says that the current version of Wine in Fedora is 1.4 - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AndreasBierfert/Wine

But anyway, when I try yum downgrade wine it says:

No Match for available package: wine-1.3.29-1.fc16.i686

I did (admittedly, a very quick) search for 'yum downgrade wine no match' but couldn't find anything. Do I need to set up extra repositories or something?

You can download the 1.4 version packages of wine for F16 from koji and manually install them.

Ah thanks! Exactly what I was looking for, and I got to learn a lot about installing rpm files from the command line due to a bug in apper. Unfortunately my game still doesn't work with 1.4 so I'm looking backwards for the version that does.

Thanks guys!
