... and there's no ebuild for the current stable version (2.2.9).
The 2.3.2 ebuild works fine for 2.2.9 however (at least for me).
I needed wxGTK-2.2.9 for Audacity (audacity.sourceforge.net), a
very nice sound editing tool, it won't compile with 2.3.2.

Okies, I'm going to try this one out and then include in portage, I'm not sure
wether to keep the old one or mask it, thats a later issue when/if it works ;)

Hi!

I don't remember exactly why I added the development version instead of the
stable one, but I'm sure I had a good reason at the time :)  Must have been
needed as a dependency for another app or something.  However, as it appears
there is interest in other apps now, I would suggest adding the latest stable
version and leave the development version in the tree but package mask it.
Comment 3 Tod M. Neidt (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-03-28 10:34:36 UTC
Ah!

I remember my good reason.

Please see http://www.wxpython.org/BUILD.unix.txt

wxPython was my original reason for add wxGTK

The reason for adding the development version (from the build instruction cited
above):

****snip*****

B. You'll usually want to use a version of wxGTK that has the same
   version number as the wxPython sources you are using.  (Another
   advantage of using CVS is that you'll get both at the same time.)

*****unsnip****

In light of this, I would add the stable version of wxGTK to the tree while
retaining the development version and *not* masking the development version or
all things wxPython will presumably break.
