Hi all, FYI (no RFS, but feedback is welcome): I've uploaded jessie-backports of wine-development and khronos-api to mentors.debian.net. I will further test them the next days, but given debdiff *.dsc looks good and I used cowbuilder et.al I strongly assume that they are fine. I will follow up when I've done the testing, or if you have any remarks. The backports were proposed in https://bugs.debian.org/793551 (by upstream). The wine maintainers Michael Gilbert and Stephen Kitt agree with me doing the backports, see bug log. Stephen kindly proposed to be my sponsor, thanks again. About wine-development: wine-development is Wine (the Windows API implementation) packaged from the development branch at winehq.org. Releases happen every 2 weeks (and of course I am going to push them to backports as soon as they reach Stretch for the next 2 years). Wine is developed rapidly and it is often necessary to have a very recent version of Wine for a Windows app to run. There is nearly no upstream support for older versions. Therefore I think a backport really makes sense. Current version in Jessie is 1.7.29-4. I've uploaded 1.7.49-1~bpo8+1 (which just entered Jessie while I was uploading 1.7.48). About khronos-api: khronos-api contains the Khronos XML API Registry, which is a build-dependency of current wine-development, but is not available in Jessie. I've uploaded 0~svn29577-2~bpo8+1. My backport packaging: Backporting itself has been trivial thus far. I only updated the changelog and added myself as uploader (for the latter I am not totally sure if this was correct - I just became Junior Developer in pkg-wine@alioth to have commit access to the git repo, but I don't have upload rights). I've written down my setup and steps I did at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/blog/jere21-257447/backporting-wine-development-for-debian-jessie-36662/ The packaging of wine-development for jessie-backports is in the jessie-backports-1.7.x branch at git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-wine/wine.git. Following are: - parts of the RFS templates for khronos-api and wine-development - debdiffs for khronos-api and wine-development dscs. Nothing more, you may stop reading if you made it thus far. Thanks! btw: just arrived in Heidelberg for DebConf.
