Hi,
There are a number of separate things being addressed here,
let's try to divide them up between easy and hard...
the included patch can be used to build wxGTK contrib debug libraries.
this is easy and the reasoning sound if people are actually using the
contribs now. Thanks for the patch, and the testing.
I'm the maintainer of iaxcomm, which recently where uploaded to Debian
unstable and it uses the xrc library.
libwxgtk2.4-contrib and libwxgtk2.4-1-contrib are also used by at least
plucker-desktop, kdevelop3, xmule, openmsx-catapult. Most packages use
only the xrc library, but at least stc is also used (plucker-desktop).
I needed to patch the xmlres source code, since there was no RTTI for
wxXmlResourceHandler.
This is a bigger problem. It is not a binary compatible change...
It is going to take some justification, and a plan.
Ok, I understand. I suppose I could wait until wxwidgets 2.6 is released
in unstable. When do you think it will happen? The xrc classes are
included in the main library in 2.6. Which of course will mean that
packages that only uses the xrc library, for example iaxcomm, won't need
contrib.
- dh_strip -N$(package_gtk_dbg) -N$(package_wxbase_dbg) \
+ @# Ignore "I have no package to build"
+ -dh_strip -N$(package_gtk_dbg) -N$(package_wxbase_dbg) \
and this is curiosity... what went wrong there? and do we
really want to hide it??
It was needed in order to build only the contrib debug package, which
shouldn't be stripped. Strip returns an error code, and stops the build,
if there aren't any packages to strip.
