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

Currently wxPython 3.0.0.0 hasn't been released, so the focus is on C++ packages.

There are packages of wxWidgets 3.0.0 in unstable. The package you probably want to build-depend on is libwxgtk3.0-dev.

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

Some important notes:

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