Specific build for package

[vitor251093]

I'm trying to create an AppImage for Wine, for I'm having trouble with setting the Wine build.

When creating an AppImage with "winehq-stable" in the packages list, it will install the 2.0.2 version. If I use "winehq-stable=6.0.4~buster" instead, Wine won't be installed. If I replace "winehq-stable=6.0.4~buster" with "winehq-stable 6.0.4~buster", it installs winehq-stable 2.0.2 instead. How can I specify which package build do I want to install?

Here is a sample of the YML file:

app: Wine
binpatch: true
ingredients:
  dist: buster
  packages:
    - winehq-stable=6.0.4~buster
    - bash
    - cabextract
    - dash
    - perl
    - coreutils
    - mesa-utils
    - unionfs-fuse
  sources:
    - deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main contrib non-free
    - deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ buster main
script:
  - cat > ./usr/bin/winewrapper << 'EOF'
  - #!/bin/bash
  - 
  - # WINE env

  - 
  - # check gpu vendor
  - VENDOR=$(glxinfo -B | grep "OpenGL vendor")

Please check out https://github.com/mmtrt/WINE_AppImage. This task is too complex for pkg2appimage.

I'm not asking for a Wine AppImage. I'm working on it. I tried to build an AppImage using that project you mentioned, but it didn't work.

What I'm asking for is for a method to install a package with an specific version/build. Is that really too complex for pkg2appimage?

[vitor251093]

Just checked pkg2appimage source. It seems that, in order to have version support, the function apt-get.do-download would need to be updated accordingly. Otherwise, it will only consider the package name, but not the package version. Is that right?

[probonopd]

Packaging WINE is too complex for pkg2appimage. Trust me. I've been there.

[vitor251093]

I've managed to package Wine with pkg2appimage with ease, but I had to do some improvements in pkg2appimage to do do, so it could download packages at specific versions. I will submit a pull request later.

In the meanwhile, you can check the result yourself:
https://github.com/vitor251093/Wine_AppImage_Builder

If you have NodeJS installed that should be enough to try the build.js script. Downloading pkg2appimage isn't a requirement right now because, in order to test my changes, I've added it inside the project temporarily.
