Hello, I can indeed take care of this (as I said in previous, private, mail, I'm interested in having up to date and well maintained wx packages for Debian as both wx developer and Debian user, and I'd be glad to contribute something back to Debian too) but currently the maintenance of the packages is done by Robin Dunn, another wx developer and the author of wxPython. So maybe Robin would prefer to take this role himself -- I'm cc'ing him so that he could take this decision. But in any case and whoever does it, I'll certainly do my best to help and I'd also like to propose helping any maintainers of wx-dependent packages and their upstream developers with making sure the packages work correctly with wx 2.8. Please post to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (preferred) or contact me directly if you have any problems with porting existing code to wx 2.8 (and, in the relatively near future, to 3.0 too).

To answer Daniel's question, we do have something you can look at: - The control &c files used for building the packages can be seen at http://svn.wxwidgets.org/viewvc/wx/wxWidgets/branches/WX_2_8_BRANCH/debian/ (you can also see the latest version by replacing "branches/WX_2_8_BRANCH" with "trunk") They were written by Ron Lee and we've tried to avoid modifying them much so far as we don't understand everything they do. Any comments/ suggestions on improving them would be very welcome -- thanks in advance! - The packages themselves are available at http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ Again, if you see anything wrong with them, please let us know.
