Issue:
Audacity development (git) requires linking against wxGTK3.1.
The normal Fedora wxGTK3 package is at wxGTK3-3.04 in F29/30/31/devel.
wxGTK3.1 is a development series which eventually leads to wxGTK3.2 release.
Upstream is currently at 3.1.3 and expecting at least a 3.1.4 next year.
Audacity 2.3.3 release is imminent (RC02).

Hi, one of the wxGTK maintainers here. Where is the requirement to use wxGTK 3.1 documented? Like Kevin, I can't find that documented. And if it is definitely required, *why* is it required?

I would like to be able to release the next Audacity (once tested) when it drops.

I've been reading about Fedora modules, and am wondering whether the following would make sense as a potential solution ?:

$ dnf  modules  list  wxGTK3

I would be strongly opposed to using a module for this. If you absolutely *must* have wx 3.1, we should just use a regular (non-modular) package. Note that we've already had one request for wx 3.1 [1], but I've been hesitant to package it since it has unstable API/ABI and we typically don't package development releases.

Can you provide amplifying information on the wx 3.1 requirement from audacity first?

Thanks,
Scott
