Don't push Wine 9.17 to stable branch

I see that Wine 9.17 has got to the testing branch, but my suggestion is to not put it on the stable branch because 9.17 has a terrible regression where drag and drop is broken (ht tps://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57165), meaning you can’t drag and drop anything into wine apps, and this bug destroyed a lot of people workflow including mine, and it was fixed in 9.18, but that version also has a severe regression too about exporting files (htt ps://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57240), so I suggest to wait and put 9.19 directly in the stable branch, as Wine 9.16 is quite perfect in stability and better than 9.17 & 9.18 in terms of stability as it doesen’t have any regression.

Welcome to Manjaro forum @Milli189

If you do not want WINE 9.16 to be replaced by 9.17 or 9.18 you can add it to the package manager ignore list until WINE 9.19 is released

Yep, I noticed it now too. Seems by mistake I synced the wrong date from ArchLinux archive. That is now fixed and 9.16 is now again in testing. Seems 9.18 should fix it, which should come out very soon.
