Improving lack of wine dependencies condition on distros like Arch

[shuriken1812]

Currently in https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bottles/ and possibly other distros as well wine is included as a dependency due to lack of dependencies

The best solution would be a package called "wine-core" which does exactly this without installing the whole wine. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Wine However Arch currently doesn't have split wine packages.

Current solution - I recommend try bundling what wine-core package has. wine-core package includes the basic wine stuff needed by all other packages (like lutris). Including DLLs and other system dependencies.

Here are the packages that should be packaged with Bottles (names according to Fedora):

• wine-core (tthis should cover most of it)
• wine-wingdings-fonts (this is required by most Windows applications and suppresses some warnings)
• wine-symbol-fonts (same as wine-wingdings-fonts )
• wine-common (common wine files and scripts, many runners should already include them)
• wine-fonts (mainly used font bundles, these can be installed separately as components but it might be useful to provide them as a dependency to suppress various warnings, also i think this bundle includes wine-system-fonts and wine-small-fonts)

These packages should be already bundled with most of Wine runners (ex. chardonnay):

• wine-alsa
• wine-capi
• wine-cms
• wine-desktop
• wine-filesystem
• wine-ldap
• wine-openal
• wine-opencl
• wine-pulseaudio
• wine-systemd
• wine-sysvinit
• wine-twain
