Description of problem: Mageia currently has the current Beta version of Wine packaged. Due to frequent regression in this bleeding edge beta version, it is good to also have the stable version of wine available (curently 1.2.3). Mandriva, for instance, has both avialable, as does Ubuntu.
Mandriva only has one version of wine.

Mandriva 2010.2 repositories contain stable wine in release and updates (latest 1.2.3), and wine beta in backports (1.3.19).
So, in the officially supported repositories i.e. release and updates there's only _one_ version of wine, which was the latest version of wine available right before 2010.1 (which later was weirdly rebranded 2010.2) was released.
I understand. I didn't think about the release dates of mandriva - I guess it's always been the more cutting edge version and not both simultaneously, which is probably best for most people. More of an issue for me specifically, as I'm dealing with wine regressions in the last few releases. Best to keep pushing for a fix at Wine's bugzilla. Thanks for the quick replies.
That's the nature of wine... one version works the next one doesn't, then the one after the next works; it moves to fast to stick with the stable release branch IMHO (and each new version usually has a plethora of bug fixes, added support for new apps/games.. etc).
