Is there anything about why Fedora 41 packages aren't available yet?

https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/fedora/?C=M;O=D only shows F40

Is Wine on Wayland working for games quite well already? If yes, then I do hope that we can enable the Wayland back-end by an environment variable. Last time when I checked a registry setting had to be changed for every Wine prefix.

But why does Wine have a dependency on libodbc2? I don't need to use database.
Why does Wine have a dependency on libcapi20-3t64, that is a ISDN utilities, I don't have a ISDN modem, nobody does.
Why does Wine have a dependency on libasound264? Can't it just use PIpewire?

What do you use Wine for? Which programs? Which games?

Those deps are optional. If wine can't find them then it won't use them. Sound from wine on my laptop goes through pipewire because that's what drives sound on Fedora 41.

Header fixes for C++ compilation

So... someone uses a C++ compiler to build Wine instead of C compiler? If so, why? What's the reason for that?

WINE is reimplementing the entire WIN32 API and a lot of people use ODBC that aren't you. WINE doesn't exist for any one person it exists for many people to run the entire suite of Windows software on other platforms. Back in the early 2000s WINE's application support was far ahead of it's game support.

Maybe here appear a better info about most dependencies

In some cases dont mandatory

if you use new wow64 (./configure --enable-archs=i386,x86_64) at building only use 64bit dependencies in my case
