Bug#613431: RFP: wxWidgets Cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit
retitle 613431 ITP: wxwidgets2.9 -- wxWidgets Cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit owner 613431 o...@survex.com thanks My current work pushing to eliminate wxwidgets2.6 from the archive is progressing nicely, and I'm pretty confident we can get that done by the end of the year, and we're nearly at the stage where all that's left is giving maintainers a reasonable opportunity to make the needed changes, and NMU those packages that remain unfixed. So the next logical step seems to be to package wxwidgets2.9 to experimental which will new packages wanting to use it to at least get started, and will hopefully allow us to be ready when 3.0 gets released (since the 3.0 package should be very similar to the last 2.9 ones).

These software could be uploaded to experimental, but Debian doesn't provide this version at all. Unfortunately 2.9 is a development release series and has no guarantees of API stability, which means it's not terribly suitable for packaging. Every point release (e.g. 2.9.2 to 2.9.3) would be like trying to move the archive from 2.6 to 2.8, which is just unfeasible given the number of reverse dependencies of wx. So this will probably need to wait until it matures and becomes 3.0.x. Latest word I've seen is 3.0 will probably happen in the beginning of the next year rather than in this one at: http://wxwidgets.blogspot.com/2011/07/292-and-plans-for-future.html However the huge amounts of the new code that will hopefully be in 2.9.3 makes me wonder if the start of 2012 is a realistic target. It's rather unhelpful for upstream to be encouraging new projects to require wx 2.9, when it isn't ABI or even API stable, but that's the situation.
