wine-ge is outdated because proton-wine repo isn't getting new versions

[LunNova]

It looks like Proton-GE now uses ValveSoftware/Wine directly and a folder of patches against it.

GE's proton-wine repo is what the update script uses and it hasn't seen a new version since Proton8-26. The related wine-ge-custom repo is archived. https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom
https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-wine/tree/Proton8-26

Do you think sunsetting it would be a good idea? I'm thinking of redirecting users to use umu instead.

It's historically been very useful for me to have a proton-patched wine that games work with that further patches can easily be applied to with nix for testing. I was using wine-ge here for this. I think umu doesn't fit this role.

We could just patch it ourselves, but at some point those patches will bitrot.

Will see if building the ValveSoftware/wine that https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom 's wine submodule points at + the patches from its patches folder works.

Nope, sorry! Haven't got around to trying it yet.

no problem, would love this update though as currently this is the only nix wine-ge package i could find, and is outdated
