I simply have asked the maintainers of wxwidgets3.0 what are their plans. There are no planning on packaging the current development tree of wxwidgets3.1 because simply the ABI isn't declared as stable. As long this is not happen it could be possible that every package that is depending on such a package will get mostly needed to be rebuild by a new upload of src:wxwidget3.1 due ABI changes. So the current wxwidgets3.0 packages *are* the only packages for wxwidgets. The soft freeze for Buster in Debian is in December. And there is no movement visible in wxwidgets3.1 for months. I'd say it will not happen we see wxwidgets3.1 in Buster. I can fully understand that the wxwidget maintainers don't want to take this challenge for rather less gain. Also it looks like that also Buster can't get rid fully of GTK2 packages and libraries. So we will mostly have libwxgtk3.0-0v5 (GTK2) *and* libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5 (GTK3) in the next Debian release. I don't know what the downstream distributions will do, but I don't expect that we will see wxwidgets3.1 in any of the downstreams, even not in Ubuntu and in a PPA here. But there is always the possibility to use backports if it's possible. -- Regards Carsten Schoenert _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
