wine-fbsd64 -- no longer in ports

[Gary Aitken]

Looking to update wine-fbsd64:

# portmaster -n emulators/wine-fbsd64

===>>> No /usr/ports/emulators/wine-fbsd64 exists, and no information
===>>> about emulators/wine-fbsd64 can be found in /usr/ports/MOVED

hints?

Ordinarily, packages are created by building ports.
If this one is an exception, how is it created?

I guess that just remove it and install /usr/ports/emulators/wine or
/usr/ports/emulators/wine-devel would be OK.

The name 'wine-fbsd64' looks strange. You installed it before? and
when did you find this name?

Nope, not for amd64:

% grep 'ONLY_FOR_ARCHS' /usr/ports/emulators/wine/Makefile
ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386
% grep 'ONLY_FOR_ARCHS' /usr/ports/emulators/wine-devel/Makefile
ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386

The wine and wine-devel ports won't even compile on amd64.

There was some guy who claims to have managed creating a
binary _package_ for amd64 somehow, and wo sent periodic
announcement updates about to this list. I don't know if it was
legit or not: I never install stuff bypassing ports. But apparently,
he didn't create a _port_, nor did he modify/enhance the current
i386-only wine ports.

-cpghost.

any

He does created a port but didn't like to commit it into ports as this
one gobbles all libraries that wine depend upon from local system and
other installed ports and installs them as part of wine-fbsd64. And this
is not good from a security/maintainability perspective yet it gives
everyone a choice to use wine on amd64 machine. The port is freely
available and regularly updated on mediafire with guides on how someone
can make this package himself without downloading binaries compiled by
some third party.

Oh, I didn't know that and never try to install wine before. Thanks for
your information.

Volodymyr has pointed out that this was a port (and not a
binary package) that never got committed. As a port, you can
examine precisely what it does and it may be worth a try if you
feel that it doesn't mess with your installation and doesn't
compromise it. I didn't try it, can't say anything at all about it.

-cpghost.
