In most cases it doesn't matter. But note the workflow is that I upload it to the PPA <i>before</i> doing some minimal testing. In the case of a broken build dependency or a segfault or some substantial change to the package being wrong, a user on the PPA would get a bad package. The repo is largely there (instead of, say, 2 PPAs) at this point for historical reasons. I started before there was such a thing as launchpad PPAs. Now it's got 160,000 users, and I'm not sure how to properly migrate that many users to a PPA conveniently. So the path of least resistance is to just keep it going as is.

That means the PPA is the preferred repository, right? 2. So is there any reason the recommended repo on wine download page is the budgetdedicated one? And why isn't the PPA more publicized? Thanks for the grrreat work, Ronan Hello Scott,
