Welcome to the Wine-a-holics Overlay!

Repoman Status:

Goals

This overlay strives to provide bleeding edge Wine and Wine related ebuilds. As a sister project of wine-overlay, we aim to improve ebuild quality, squash bugs, and incorporate the kinds of features that users desire, like slotted Wine that enables users to use multiple versions of Wine, with and without Wine-Staging, at the same time. We know that Wine sometimes includes regressions from version to version, so the the goal there is to allow you to switch and use whatever version(s) that your applications need. Additionally, the non-vanilla versions of wine also support Gallium Nine Direct3D9.

If you haven’t used layman yet, just run these commands:

# emerge -av layman
# echo "source /var/lib/layman/make.conf" >> /etc/make.conf

# wget https://git.io/wine-a-holics-conf -O /etc/portage/repos.conf/wine-a-holics.conf

To sync the overlay with this setup:

# emaint sync -r wine-a-holics
