Bug#686091: unblock: winetricks/0.0+20120826+svn907-1
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package winetricks
PROBLEM
The program contains hard coded URLs to download more software easily
for WINE (like IE8). Unfortunately many sites (like Microsoft) changed
their web pages and the URLs are no longer valid.
WHAT IS FIXED
The current debian package contains latest upstream code with fixes to
the URLs. Without this update, users will encounter problems in trying
to download software.
There are no workarounds.
COMMENT
I've opened an issue upstream to propose future improvement that would
separate metadata from the code:
http://code.google.com/p/winetricks/issues/detail?id=262
but it will not be available for Debian release.
I've not attached debdiff because this is a new upstream release and
changes to the code would be extensive.
