Note

If you have previously used the distro packages, you will notice some differences in the WineHQ ones:

• Files are installed to /opt/wine-devel or /opt/wine-staging.
• Menu items are not created for Wine’s builtin programs (winecfg, etc.), and if you are upgrading from a distro package that had added them, they will be removed. You can recreate them yourself using your menu editor.
