Hello! Many of us have some windows application that has no linux version but we still want to use it on our debian machine without installing windows in a virtual machine. But, there is no "wine" included in standard debian repositories. Squeeze was a last release that had wine in its repos, but starting from Wheezy it is not there anymore. Of course u can add squeeze repo to your sources.list but it gives you quiet an old version 1.0 of Wine. The biggest bad thing about 1.0 is that there seems to be no connection between windows applications and regedit.exe. I guess many people demand something newer that has a working registry editor. Not the latest 1.4 Beta that forces you to install a bunch of unstable .debs but something more reliable.
I found this website http://www.lamaresh.net/ that has a good Wine version 1.1.32. It is that simple as adding a line to your sources.list, downloading a public key and apt-get update. Then you can simply install it with Synaptic or apt-get.
This is simply a life saving repo. Many thanks for the maintainers of the .debs and the website Maurilio Genovese and Ben Klein.
