# Winehq macOS Builds

> These will function like macOS pkg releases but are packaged within a `.tar.xz`.\

## gecko & mono are included
`wine-gecko` & `wine-mono` are included within these custom `Wine-*` packages, usually wine(64) will download and install .msi packages into each and every wineprefix increasing prefix size instead the "shared" versions are used to reduce prefix size.
> [!NOTE]
> ## Don't open wine issues here!;
> Wine bugs/regressions need to be reported via [Winehq Bugzilla](https://bugs.winehq.org/)\
> _Packaging related issues should be reported here._
