Transition to the new WoW64 wine and wine-staging

2025-06-16

We are transitioning the wine and wine-staging package to a pure wow64 build. This change removes the dependency on the multilib repository for wine and wine-staging.

The main reason for this is to align with upstream Wine development, which simplifies packaging and the dependency chain.

Potential Issues:

• OpenGL Performance: A known limitation of the new WoW64 mode is reduced performance for 32-bit applications that use OpenGL directly
• Breaking Changes: Existing 32-bit prefixes needs to be recreated

If you are facing issues with 32 bit prefixes, please recreate these and reinstall the application.

I don’t use wine or anything Windows-related, but as I understand it, the prefixes are the .wine directories in your home directory, and their contents. You’ll need to delete those and reinstall the applications.
