Wine 7.15

[fulalas]

I have no idea why Wine for Slackware has increased its size by this much since version 7.5

You will also need this to run 32 bit applications: Multilib Ultra Lite for Porteus 5 final release

What size would a Wine 7.5 module have when created for Porteus 5.0?

i have see the alienbob wine package 7.3 version is 240 mb when txz2xzm work the size increase to 295 the xzm compressor is ok?

^
It depends, sometimes a xzm module is smaller than the txz package, and sometimes it is bigger.
One can experiment with the xz compression settings, but often smaller filesize is longer decompression and larger filesize is quicker decompression.

also the home .wine folder is now 1.2G compared to just 80MB with the old wine-6.22. I hope it's worth it, now just to expand the Wine 7 subsystem I need around 2GB!

Doesn't that mean that the usual setup - having the home folder in the RAM-disc - would crash the normal user's system?
Since hardly anyone would have set up their system to have such a large RAM disc. Or is one asked during setup where to have the files sit outside /home/guest and then a symlink is created to that place, e.g. to /mnt/sda2/home/guest/wine7-home-guest/

Rava, not sure, mine was on the ext4 changes folder on my USB stick, too heavy anyway and I compressed it into an xzm module (still 300MB!) with:

Code: Select all

COMP_ZSTD="-comp zstd -b 256K -Xcompression-level 22"
root@porteus:~# mksquashfs /root/.wine /tmp/dotwine.xzm $COMP_ZSTD -noappend -no-strip

[Rava]

Just for comparison, I made my root partition smaller than average:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/tmp# df -m /
Filesystem     Type 1M-blocks  Used Available Use% Mounted on
aufs           aufs       388    82       307  21% /

Now sure what would happen would I try installing Wine-7.

Could anyone provide a .xzm module of this wine-6.22 version? The size jump in .wine folder is too much for me, I want to keep things as minimal as possible on this USB for future proofing.

Good question, at least a search with the forum search only gave results for
wine-7.15-x86_64 (duh!) and
wine-5.15-x86_64

wine-7.0-x86_64 ~94MB:

You need also 0050-multilib-ultralite-x86_64!

Thanks.

It#s not the 6.22 -- but it's only 93.82 MB.

You need also 0050-multilib-ultralite-x86_64!

I presume this one will do:
Multilib Ultra Lite for Porteus 5 final release

For those who need to run basic 32 bit applications, such as Wine/Windows.

Thank you guys! Good to know there's still an older version with a respectable small size that is compatible with Porteus 5.0 (the .wine jump with 7.15 being more than 10 times the size is still so surprising for me! I wonder what was added/changed that caused this huge leap)

Here's my MD5 for the file AcnapyxoB provided: B807BF830A3A3D0606147F8AE638DC80

I tried finding the mentioned 6.22 … but no luck.

Well, the wine-7.0-x86_64.xzm is okay with its 93.82 MB.
