This page is for tracking transitioning packages from wxwidgets2.8 to wxwidgets3.0. Other useful tools:
There are now packages of wxWidgets 3.0.1 in testing, and a backported version will shortly be available in wheezy-backports.
wxPython 3.0.0.0 was released a while after wxWidgets 3.0.0 but hasn't yet been packaged (ITP is 734799). Currently the focus is on C++ packages.
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 or wx-common, and there's no need to build-depend on both libwxgtk3.0-dev and libwxbase3.0-dev.
The intention is to remove wxwidgets2.8 from testing before the jessie freeze.
Some important notes:
- There are some overlaps with on-going transitions. Please check for this, and delay uploads of affected packages until after these transitions have been completed.
- You should be able to co-install wx 2.8 and 3.0, so applications can switch independently of one another.
- 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 was that wxPython 3.0.0.0 appeared some time after wxWidgets 3.0.0).
- 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, which means such assertions will be handled as they would have been by a default build of 2.8 (such as that in wxgtk2.8-0).
- The -doc package is temporarily gone in the 3.0 packages (upstream now release the docs as a separate download).
Upstream provide a document listing "Changes Since wxWidgets 2.8", which may be useful where the upstream code needs updating. The other common build failures are due to compatibility with wx2.6 being off in the 3.0 packages (which is upstream's default).

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.

Upstream cares about 3.0, but there are a few minor bugs, and one segfault. The segfault is fixed. The package is in new because of introducing erlang-dbg package |
