An update of winetricks?

[AVLinux]

Hi,

I've been trying and failing to get some improvements in my Wine-Staging install, it seems winetricks in MX-Test is from 2023 and a few things have failed (mostly 404's when fetching things). Would it be a good idea to get a fresh winetricks? I think it now installs the DXVK Vulkan driver stuff which seems to help with a lot of games and Audio Plugins.. I know it's an easy script to grab and use on it's own but since it's also in the Repos I thought I'd ask..

The last version in Sid is from Jan 2024--and has a lot of patches that I would have to refresh. Is that recent enough, or can anyone report that the manually installed 20241017 version is OK without patches?

I can test that, leave it with me..

*ADDED

Well on a MX-23 based AVL system I git cloned it and built it with no compilation issues and the script runs as expected... Not sure what all the patching is for..?
The source has a Debian Packaging folder in it but I didn't try that..

Code: Select all

$ sudo make install
[sudo] password for pcuser:
install -d /usr/bin
install src/winetricks /usr/bin/winetricks
install -d /usr/share/man/man1
install -m 644 src/winetricks.1 /usr/share/man/man1/winetricks.1
install -d /usr/share/applications
install -m 644 src/winetricks.desktop /usr/share/applications/winetricks.desktop
install -d /usr/share/metainfo
install -m 644 src/io.github.winetricks.Winetricks.metainfo.xml /usr/share/metainfo/io.github.winetricks.Winetricks.metainfo.xml
install -d /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps
install -m 644 src/winetricks.svg /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/winetricks.svg

*gentle nudge

So, Winetricks from GIT does compile and work on MX-23, can we get a proper Repo Package? Some pretty handy new functions like installing DXVA which is now in Sid so this is a good way to obtain DXVA in the meantime on Bookworm (it is handy for some games and Audio Plugins)

Does this work?

Seems to work well, THANK YOU!

*I could only test MX-23, I don't have any MX-21 installs currently..

As far as I can tell, the winetricks dev incorporated all the former (20240105) Debian patches except the one to disable its automatic self updates, so I think we're good there.
