Bug 212312 – dev-util/wxglade-0.6.3 version bump plus wxPython-2.8 support

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dmitrij D. Czarkoff 2008-03-04 20:39:35 UTC]

Tried to build wxGlade 0.6.3 with wxPython 2.8.7.1 and succeded on two different computers (one amd64 and another - i386) with the same patch applied to 0.6.1 ebuild.

Could You please add wxGlade 0.6.3 with no wxpython 2.6.* dependencies?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/dev-util/wxglade/
2. cp /usr/portage/dev-util/wxglade/wxglade-0.6.1.ebuild /usr/local/portage/dev-util/wxglade/wxglade-0.6.3.ebuild
3. patch 
/usr/local/portage/dev-util/wxglade/wxglade-0.6.3.ebuild ~/wxglade-wxpython-2.8.patch
4. emerge -av --digest wxglade



Tested on two different computers with different environements and useflags.

Ebuild for dev-util/wxglade-0.6.3 with >=dev-python/wxpython-2.6 (instead of =dev-python/wxpython-2.6*) dependency.

we'll have to either use 2.6 or 2.8.  i've tested with 2.8 too; the only reason it's still using 2.6 is i haven't gotten around to changing it.  i'll do it with the version bump.

Committed, thanks.

But why do You patch the source to force version? May be it would be a better idea to leave the user to choose wxWidgets version to use? Or is it a limitation of wxwidgets eclass?
