--- Begin Message ---Package: tinc-gui Version: 1.1~pre9-1 Severity: wishlist User: [email protected] Usertags: wxpy3.0 We're aiming to migrate the archive to using wxpython3.0 instead of wxwidgets2.8, and hope to drop wxwidgets2.8 before jessie is released. This transition is already underway, and is being tracked by the release team here: https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/wxpython3.0.html I noticed that there's a newer version of tinc in experimental, with a new tinc-gui binary package which depends on python-wxgtk2.8. I thought it was useful to file a wishlist bug about this, mostly to give you a heads up in case the plan is to get this into jessie. The wxPython 3.0 API mostly adds to the wxPython2.8 API. Many packages work with wxPython 3.0 without any changes, but there are a few incompatibilities. For example, wx.Color is no longer supported as an alias for wx.Colour, and some constants which were deprecated in 2.8 have been removed. All the removed constants I'm aware of were set to 0 in wxPython 2.8, so removing them is still compatible with 2.8. To assist updating to wxPython 3.0, I've put together a script which will help make the mechanical changes required. This is in a git repo on collab-maint along with a README about using it and updating packages for wxPython 3.0 in general: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/wx-migration-tools.git The script has some options to control the sorts of changes it makes - see the README and --help output for more information - you can view the latest version of the README online here: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/wx-migration-tools.git/tree/README I've developed this script by trying to convert 20+ packages. Please try it out on your package - in many cases, it should be enough to get your package working (if it doesn't already) - if it does, please upload (and close this bug). If the script doesn't do the job, please let me know (or improve the script if you can figure out what it needs to do to get your package working). Another issue you may hit is that wxWidgets 3.0 now defaults to enabling its "WXDEBUG" checks for incorrect API usage, so some applications will emit scary sounding "assertion failures". These are unlikely to actually be new, just in a default build of 2.8, such incorrect uses were handled quietly behind the scenes. Sometimes these are easy to fix, but if not you can easily patch the application to tell wx 3.0 to handle them in the same way wx 2.8 does - details of how to do so are in the README: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/wx-migration-tools.git/tree/README Cheers, Olly
