Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package wxwidgets3.0 The package was recently binNMUed, apparently to enabled PIE (which gcc now defaults to). However gcc now also defaults to C++11, which results in wx's headers in the binNMU not being usable for applications compiling as C++98. This broke qutemol (which forces building as C++98 to work around C++11 incompatibilities) and may well break other rdeps - without a mass rebuild to check we can't know. The debian bug (severity serious) is: https://bugs.debian.org/856350 Adrian Bunk proposed explicitly forcing C++98 mode when building wxwidgets3.0, which seems a prudent choice for stretch - it essentially returns us to the pre-binNMU situation. Here is the complete debdiff against the version in testing: diff -Nru wxwidgets3.0-3.0.2+dfsg/debian/changelog wxwidgets3.0-3.0.2+dfsg/debian/changelog --- wxwidgets3.0-3.0.2+dfsg/debian/changelog 2016-07-29 11:58:02.000000000 +1200 +++ wxwidgets3.0-3.0.2+dfsg/debian/changelog 2017-03-01 14:15:40.000000000 +1300 @@ -1,3 +1,11 @@ +wxwidgets3.0 (3.0.2+dfsg-3) unstable; urgency=medium + + * Force building as C++98 for now to fix FTBFS of qutemol and perhaps + other rdeps since recent binNMU with a GCC version which defaults + to C++11.
