This page is for tracking transitioning packages from wxwidgets2.8 to wxwidgets3.0.

wxPython 3.0.0.0 was released more recently, and hasn't yet been packaged (ITP is 734799). So currently the focus is on C++ packages.

There are packages of wxWidgets 3.0.0 in testing. The package you probably want to build-depend on is libwxgtk3.0-dev (or if you only use the 'wxbase' library, libwxbase3.0-dev). There's no need to also build-depend on wx3.0-headers, and there's no need to build-depend on both libwxgtk3.0-dev and libwxbase3.0-dev.

Hopefully we can remove wxwidgets2.8 before the jessie freeze.

Some important notes:

  • There are some overlaps with on-going transitions. Please check for this, and delay uploads until after these transitions are completed.
  • The wxwidgets2.8 source package was actually based on wxPython (which includes an embedded copy of the C++ wxWidgets library sources), but the wxwidgets3.0 source package is just the C++ library (one motivation for this change is that there hasn't been an update of wxPython for 3.0 yet).
  • Upstream now defaults to enabling their "WXDEBUG" checks for incorrect API usage. One consequence of this is that in 2.8, the -dbg packages were a version built with these checks on, and debug info, but in 3.0, the -dbg packages are just detached debug symbols. The other is that code which misuses the wx API may now pop up warning dialogs, while previously the code would have quietly muddled through. Overall sorting out such issues is good, but these dialogs are intrusive for users. Where upstream hasn't tried wx 2.9.x or 3.0, this means that even if you get a clean build, the result may not be usable, so testing as much functionality of the rebuilt package as you can is important. These assertions can be disabled by defined NDEBUG when building the application - e.g. by adding -DNDEBUG to CPPFLAGS.
  • You should be able to co-install wx 2.8 and 3.0, so applications can switch independently of one another.
  • The -doc package is temporarily gone in the 3.0 packages (upstream now release the docs as a separate download).

Macports are also working on porting their packages to wx 3.0, so they may have useful patches (or check out from SVN).

If you've any useful information, please add it.
