wine users - Jul 2010 - wine apt no logner add-able

I'm running xubuntu 9.04 on dual boot with 98SE 900mhz 384mg ram 100gb
drive. you know, all the latest cutting edge stuff to date. [Laughing] any who i
noticed the install direction on the main page have changed because you use to
have to install the Scott Richie file and the APT line was longer and different.

when i copy and paste "ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa" my add source button stays
greyd out. i know it's not broken cause i can add other APT lines as i have
tried just to test.

Ask on the Ubuntu forum. This is a package manager issue, not a Wine issue.

Those instructions are for 9.10 and newer. The PPA on launchpad have
an option to show instructions for the older versions....

It is a Wine website issue...

https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa seem to have 1.2-rc5
packages for 9.04...

(Getting to the instructions for adding it requires a few clicks though...)

"Technical details about this PPA" needs to be clicked for versions
not supporting the ppa: syntax...

Gert

if i use the launch pad is it still the official wine releases and does it still
update wine? is this i problem cause 9.04 dropped?

was 9.04 dropped?
i was wondering what happened to the old install instructions? isn't there
an archive. it was easy copy a line of text and always have the latest version
of wine.

so does that mean they dropped 9.04 and older. or is it harder to install them?

sigh things always have to be complicated. i have done some research 9.04 seems
to be a little better than 9.10 as 9.10 seems to have some hiccups. i think they
should revert  the instructions page. i'll ask on ubuntu.

looks like i'm going with  launchpad ppas i found some instruction my only
problem is it's annoying cause there is no gpg that i can down load just
some text listing some long garbled numbers and letters. i can still install
wine though it just asks if i want to install without verification and i just
hit "Y".
