wine-staging
- Ebuilds: 6, Testing: 9999 Description:
Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix.
Think of Wine as a compatibility layer for running Windows programs. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely free alternative implementation of the Windows API consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code, however Wine can optionally use native Windows DLLs if they are available. Wine provides both a development toolkit for porting Windows source code to Unix as well as a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows programs to run on x86-based Unixes, including Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris.
This variant of the Wine packaging includes the Wine-Staging patchset.

xtrs
- Ebuilds: 2, Stable: 4.9d-r6, Testing: 4.9d_p20250819 Description:
xtrs is a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I/III/4/4P emulator for Unix and the
X Window System. It includes lower case, the real time clock, hi-res
graphics, serial port, parallel printer, mouse, cassette, sound and music
output, 5" and 8" floppy disk drives in single and double density, and
even hard disk drives. The emulated floppy and hard disk file formats
are compatible with the popular MSDOS-based emulators by Jeff Vavasour,
Matthew Reed, and David Keil, and (if you choose a capable enough file
format), all features of the original TRS-80 floppy disk controller are
emulated. Under Linux, physical floppy disk drives are also supported.
Physical cassettes can be read and written too. The user interface is a
bit spartan, but it gets the job done.
