What do you guys suggest I do to get a new version of wine for Woody? Download the source and compile it myself? Use 'alien' on the latest Red Hat packages? Get a backport from apt-get.org? Build my own package?



Personally, I would add a deb-src line for unstable, get the
source package, and build the .debs myself.

$ apt-get source wine
$ cd wine-<version number>
$ dpkg-buildpackage        # this is in dpkg-dev
$ cd ..
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Yeah, I tried that, but it has lots of build-depends on things that aren't in Woody (XFree86 4.2, for example). I don't want to upgrade my XFree86 just to build a wine deb.
