it seems that now x86_64 builds are available for ubuntu/debian, see: http://winehq.org/site/download-deb and in wine release notes for 0.9.38 there is in particular - Many 64-bit compilation fixes. so it seems actively followed by upfront. Is there any plan to have a 64 bit build so that we can avoid at all the annoying i386 dependencies for our best-of-all fc7-fc8?
I'm getting rid of the most i386 packages, after passing from rawhide to fc7 (see past multilib dependency problems), but it seems that wine carries with itself many other ones....
Thanks in advance, Gianluca

The way I understand this is that a 64bit wine wouldn't help you much as most Windows applications are 32bit and you would only be able to run 64bit Windows programs under a 64bit wine.

correct.. a 64bit wine is useless at this time ...
