How do I upgrade Wine to a newer version? It's up to 1.1.10 according to Wine's site, yet 1.0.something is the only one available through synaptic package manager.

The instuctions are right there if you follow the download link. Please try and look a little further in the future before posting. :)
I mixed up my windows and thought I was looking at WINE when I was looking at a side project of Wine and on that one the last link I found was to an outdated hardy repository. Sorry.

Please try to verify your links in the future, some of us rely on people asking these seemingly obvious questions. :)

Two weeks ago (when it was originally posted), the link worked fine. The new link is this: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb
If you want the latest version, you could always build from source...

But why bother when there are pre-built packages already available? Unless you need to build from source in order to incorporate an uncommitted patch (or some other customization) or you want to try it for the challenge, there is really no reason to build Wine from source.

Because you have to wait a few days after the release for the packages to be built. You can get it much sooner by building from source.
If you honestly lack the patience to wait a few days for your Wine package to be upgraded (automatically, I might add), then I suppose building from source is the way to go. But seriously, is there really any need to be that impatient? With the exception of Wine releases that have occurred during holidays or during a new Ubuntu release, I don't think it has ever taken YokoZar much more than 36 hours (if that) to produce a new package. Besides, its not like each new Wine release is a revolutionary advance over the previous one. In fact, each new release is very likely to break things that you previously had working in Wine, so waiting up to a few days for the early adopters to find some of the major bugs before you get the updated package is actually a good thing.
I guess I'm an early adopter then. :)

Quite the buzzkill arent ya? And its been almost 6days since the release. I just compiled from source and it wasnt bad.
