Moving to the slotted WINE package system in Gentoo Linux
November 29, 2017 Leave a comment
Earlier this year the Gentoo Linux developers responsible for maintaining the package app-emulation/wine decided to split it and slot it so that different versions of WINE can be installed and co-exist simultaneously:

Title app-emulation/wine split and slotting
Author NP-Hardass
Posted 2017-04-10
Revision 1
Starting with Wine 2.0, Wine in Gentoo is transitioning away from its
traditional packaging and toward a new, split and slotted, Wine.
As many Wine users know, there are often regressions or an application
works better on one version of wine than another. Going forward,
packaging in Gentoo will allow simultaneous installation of multiple
versions of Wine.
Additionally, to expedite vanilla releases as well as permit multiple
configurations for each Wine installation, the major patchsets have
been split out into separate packages.
Going forward, app-emulation/wine will transition to:
app-emulation/wine-vanilla: upstream Wine with no external patchsets
(like if the old packaging forced USE="-staging -d3d9")
app-emulation/wine-staging: Wine with Wine-Staging's patchset
(like if the old packaging forced USE="+staging -d3d9")
app-emulation/wine-d3d9: Wine with Ixit's Gallium Nine patchset
(like if the old packaging forced USE="-staging +d3d9")
app-emulation/wine-any: Wine with any of the patchsets or flags
(exactly like the old packaging regarding USE flags)
wine-any exists to allow the user to build any combination that they'd
like (like the old packaging). This means the user could use wine-any
to use both Wine-Staging and Gallium Nine. Alternatively, the user
could use wine-any to try out another configuration from other
packages. For example, the user could build wine-vanilla without
PulseAudio, and could build wine-any with PulseAudio. The sky is the
limit on how a user may choose to use app-emulation/wine-any.
Users may opt for any specific package, or may emerge virtual/wine,
which is provided for dependency resolution.
Maintainers: Please note, app-emulation/wine will be dropped, so
please use virtual/wine going forward.
Users may call each version specifically, or may call a symlink based
on their installed patchset, for example wine-2.1, wine-staging-2.2,
or wine-d3d9.
Symlinks for wine are managed with app-eselect/eselect-wine.
# eselect wine set wine-vanilla-2.0
/usr/bin/wine -> /usr/bin/wine-vanilla-2.0
# eselect wine set --staging wine-staging-2.4
/usr/bin/wine-staging -> /usr/bin/wine-staging-2.4
Earlier this year the Gentoo Linux Forums thread ‘wine: questions on recent changes‘ discussed the new system and how to use it. Several users, myself included, posted questions in that thread asking how to go about the change. I received differing advice and remained uncertain about what to do. At the time, the slotted packages for the new system had not yet been unmasked, so I left my installation as it was and decided to put off making the change for as long as possible. Today when I synchronised my installation with the Portage tree there was a Gentoo Linux news item ‘2017-11-21 Old Wine versions moving to wine-overlay’. So the time had come for me to make the switch from app-emulation/wine-2.3 to the new slotted WINE package system. Here is what I did…
Previous situation
I had been using WINE Staging:

The file /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/wine in my installation included the following line:

New situation
The file /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/wine in my installation now includes the lines listed below. The reason why I had to include app-emulation/wine-vanilla is explained further on.

(Note that e.g. the pipelight USE flag does not actually exist in the package app-emulation/wine-vanilla, but it does no harm to include “-pipelight” in the line for app-emulation/wine-vanilla in the file package.use.)
After adding the above-mentioned lines to the two files, I then had to uninstall the masked package app-emulation/wine-2.3 and the package app-emulation/winetricks-20170823 that depended on it:
clevow230ss fitzcarraldo # emerge -aC app-emulation/wine app-emulation/winetricks
Then I had to install the package virtual/wine, which pulled in the package app-emulation/wine-staging as I wanted, but also pulled in the package app-emulation/vanilla:
clevow230ss fitzcarraldo # emerge -a virtual/wine
Then I had to select wine-staging:
clevow230ss fitzcarraldo # eselect wine list
clevow230ss fitzcarraldo # eselect wine set
Finally, I had to install winetricks, which would now use the selected slotted package:
clevow230ss fitzcarraldo # emerge winetricks
How I arrived at the contents of package.accept_keywords and package.use
Note that, before I added the line for app-emulation/wine-vanilla to /etc/portage/package.use/wine and /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/wine, this is what Portage wanted to install:
clevow230ss fitzcarraldo # emerge -p virtual/wine
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Summary
So, in summary, this is what I did in order to install and use app-emulation/wine-staging:
1. Add the following lines to /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/wine:
virtual/wine ~amd64 app-emulation/wine-staging ~amd64 app-emulation/wine-vanilla ~amd64
2. Add the following lines to /etc/portage/package.use/wine:
virtual/wine -d3d9 staging abi_x86_32 app-emulation/wine-staging X alsa cups fontconfig gecko gphoto2 gsm jpeg lcms mp3 ncurses nls openal opengl perl png pulseaudio realtime run-exes scanner ssl staging threads truetype udev udisks v4l xcomposite xml -capi -custom-cflags -d3d9 -dos -gstreamer -ldap -mono -netapi -odbc -opencl -osmesa -oss -pcap -pipelight -prelink -s3tc -samba -selinux -test -themes -vaapi -xinerama abi_x86_32 app-emulation/wine-vanilla X alsa cups fontconfig gecko gphoto2 gsm jpeg lcms mp3 ncurses nls openal opengl perl png pulseaudio realtime run-exes scanner ssl staging threads truetype udev udisks v4l xcomposite xml -capi -custom-cflags -d3d9 -dos -gstreamer -ldap -mono -netapi -odbc -opencl -osmesa -oss -pcap -pipelight -prelink -s3tc -samba -selinux -test -themes -vaapi -xinerama abi_x86_32 # required by app-emulation/wine-vanilla-2.20::gentoo[gecko] # required by virtual/wine-0-r6::gentoo >=app-emulation/wine-gecko-2.47-r1 abi_x86_32
3. Uninstall the old, un-slotted WINE packages:
root # emerge -aC app-emulation/wine app-emulation/winetricks
4. Merge the new virtual WINE package:
root # emerge -a virtual/wine
5. Select the slotted WINE package I wish to use (WINE Staging):
root # eselect wine list
root # eselect wine set wine-staging-2.19
6. Merge the winetricks package, which will now recognise the slotted WINE package selected:
root # emerge app-emulation/winetricks
After completing the above process, I was still able to launch as before the various Microsoft Windows applications installed on my laptop under WINE.
UPDATE (December 1, 2017): As explained by user Chiltoo in a new post in the Gentoo Linux Forums thread mentioned earlier in the above post, a bug in Portage Version 2.3.13-r1 results in app-emulation/wine-vanilla being installed unnecessarily, as borne out in my post above.
The work-around he proposed does indeed work for me. Below are the commands I have just used for the work-around (I have left the new entries I made in package.accept_keywords and package.use in those files):
clevow230ss fitzcarraldo # emerge -aC app-emulation/wine-vanilla app-emulation/wine-staging virtual/wine app-emulation/wine-desktop-common app-emulation/wine-gecko app-eselect/eselect-wine app-emulation/winetricks
clevow230ss fitzcarraldo # emerge -1 app-emulation/wine-staging && emerge virtual/wine && emerge winetricks
The outcome of the above two commands in my case is:
