    just because Wine project doesn’t want to deal with bugs potentially introduced by the Bottles dev.

    If you have issue with Bottles, you don’t immediately go to the Wine bug tracker. If you have issue with packaged Bottles, you immediately go to the Bottles bug tracker. There is clearly a big difference.

      Yes, and another big difference is that Bottles refuses to provide any kind of help to package maintainers.
      According to maintainers’ comments on the Github project, they have to figure out how to build it by trial and error.

      I was actually really surprised that there’s isn’t any kind of build documentation.
      It’s pretty unusual.
