Hi,

I am getting occasional request to keep stable Wine versions for some of the older releases.

Is there a mechanism that would allow that?

In general you have two options:

1. You could build multiple versions of the same package. You can do this by creating multiple packages in the build service in one project. For example you create a "wine-1.0" package and a "wine-2.0" package. Inside of these workspaces, you can still use "wine.spec", which produces a wine-1.0-0.i386.rpm and a wine-2.0-0.i386.rpm. The Build Service does not remove old versions, if the src.rpm does still get build.

While this works nicely with the build service, your users might run into trouble since their used installer might want to update to 2.0, even when they do not want this.

2. To solve this, you can simply create another project, like "Wine:OLD" to get a separated repository on our servers.

3. Maybe it's possible to do configure --prefix=/opt/wine-2.0 and then have wine1 and wine2 installed side-by-side on a system. Jan --
