Description Bodo Barwich 2016-09-03 13:54:59 CEST

Hi,

I was related here from the Wine Project.

I am running a Centos7 System and try to install a 32-bit Wine.

It is a widely known issue that RHEL7 does not ship 32-bit Packages anymore. So it is an issue of great relevance for the  CentOS Community to find Repositories that ship 32-bit Packages for multiarch Systems.

I found that RPMFusion does not have support for Centos7 EL7 and I wondered why that is so?

Best Regards,
Bodo

Sorry wine doesn't qualify to be in rpmfusion as it's already in fedora epel

and the same applies for this.

There has been some work on this, but it will be 64bit only.

Hi,

Thank you for taking interest in this issue.

The case is that within the Wine Project there is a Guide how to get wine running and also how to compile new versions of it.

https://wiki.winehq.org/Fedora

There it mentions several 32-bit Packages from RPMFusion that would be required to compile the latest Wine Version.
But when I came to RPMFusion I found that it does not offer these Packages as EL7 Packages.

So I wondered whether RPMFusion could package these EL7 libraries as i686 architecture.

Best Regards,
Bodo

Wine is available in epel7 for CentOS/RHEL, if you want a more recent wine, please use the fedora rpm.

We don't plan to provide i686 packages in our WIP repository for EL7 given the way the infrastructure is currently built. Unless both CentOS and EPEL provide a i686 repository for our dependencies, we can't do that.

You will have to build wine.i686 manually. Please contact CentOS as they might be interested in the work if you manage to have wine.i686 packaged.
