All packages involved in this transition have now been removed from
testing.
wxsqlite3 itself is ready in experimental.
codelite is also ready in experimental.
guayadeque upstream is planning a switch from wx to Qt, though I haven't
seen an indication of the timescale for this - it's possible it might
not happen before jessie. I discussed this briefly with pochu on
#debian-release, and he said it would be better to avoid breaking
guayadeque in unstable, but that an imperfect patch would be OK, so I
had a stab at updating it to use wx3.0 and there's now a patch in
#749978 (you want the second patch I sent) which seems to work aside
from a cosmetic issue (logo missing from splash screen/about panel).
maitreya status seems to be we're waiting for upstream to address some
assertion failures with wx3.0. Given that these would have been quietly
ignored in a default built on wx2.8, I suggest we build it with -DNDEBUG
for now which tells wx3.0 to ignore them as wx2.8 does. Then we can
actually make this transition happen and get the updated packages out
there a decent length of time before the jessie freeze (November 5th)
to give us a chance to shake out any problems. Assuming maitreya
upstream makes a release before the freeze, we can drop -DNDEBUG and
ship that instead.
Cheers,
Olly
