Description Dennis Winter 2008-04-09 20:09:56 UTC
http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks is a collection of several little helpers for wine.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Matteo Modesti 2008-05-03 00:20:24 UTC
I don't think it could be useful: winetricks is a bash script frequently updated, so creating an ebuild for each release would be masochist.

A possible solution could be to "wget" the script every time the ebuild is emerged, but i think writing
$ emerge winetricks
is the same as writing
$ wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
(you can also create a 2-line-bash-script that runs the just mentioned command)
Plus, the ebuild would have a single version, so it could create a bit of confusion and someone could forget to update (emerge) it before using it...
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2008-05-04 09:11:04 UTC
i'd e-mail upstream and ask them to add like an --update flag where it would automatically wget the latest version ...
