I am not really a fan of stable branches and have moved to Wine 1.7 as soon as it spawned from Wine 1.6 and have been using it for years without a problem.
So, now, as Wine 1.8 stable has been released and Wine 1.9 created as a successor to Wine 1.7 I would really like to install it (Wine 1.9).
However I can't find any PPA with it. The "Ubuntu Wine Team" PPA seems to provide some related packages like "wine-gecko1.9" but not wine1.9 itself. The "Official Wine builds" PPA provides wine-devel packages but I don't really understand what are they meant for as installing them does not actually install wine.
So how do I install Wine 1.9?
PS: Of course I can always build it from sources and install it to /opt but I'd prefer a more tidy PPA way.
Since you mention that unstable wine is okay for you, you can use PPA of wine-staging. I am using it right now, and I have the 1.9 version. Note however, that the purpose of wine-staging is testing experimental features, which aren't yet merged with the main branch.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wine/wine-builds
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends wine-staging
sudo apt-get install winehq-staging
