Package: tunapie
Version: 2.1.17-2.1
Severity: minor
User: freewx-ma...@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: wx2.6to2.8

I'm trying to get packages to migrate from wxwidgets2.6 to wxwidgets2.8
so we can remove the former from the archive - it's no longer supported
upstream, and wxwidgets3.0 is supposed to be out early next year.

Currently tunapie depends on python-wxgtk2.6|python-wxgtk2.8.  However,
the upstream code tells wxversion that it's happy with 2.6 or later:

    wxversion.ensureMinimal("2.6")

This means it will already get run with 2.8 if both versions are
installed and the user hasn't changed the wx.pth alternative setting
from the default.

Since python-wxgtk2.8 is depended on by quite a few packages, the
reality is that many users will have been running with 2.8 for some time
already, so dropping the alternative dependency on python-wxgtk2.6 should
be a painless change.

If you'd like me to NMU this change, please just let me know.

Cheers,
    Olly
