Going forward, +packaging in Gentoo will allow simultaneous installation of multiple +versions of Wine. + +Additionally, to expedite vanilla releases as well as permit multiple +configurations for each Wine installation, the major patchsets have +been split out into separate packages. + +Going forward, app-emulation/wine will transition to: +app-emulation/wine-vanilla: upstream Wine with no external patchsets + (like if the old packaging forced USE="-staging -d3d9") +app-emulation/wine-staging: Wine with Wine-Staging's patchset + (like if the old packaging forced USE="+staging -d3d9") +app-emulation/wine-d3d9: Wine with Ixit's Gallium Nine patchset + (like if the old packaging forced USE="-staging +d3d9") +app-emulation/wine-any: Wine with any of the patchsets or flags + (exactly like the old packaging regarding USE flags) + +wine-any exists to allow the user to build any combination that they'd +like (like the old packaging). This means the user could use wine-any +to use both Wine-Staging and Gallium Nine. Alternatively, the user +could use wine-any to try out another configuration from other +packages. For example, the user could build wine-vanilla without +PulseAudio, and could build wine-any with PulseAudio.
