Yea, just read the `port cat wxWidgets` but didn't check any svn

dropped back because the current stable release is at 2.8.10

As jameskyle said in the commit message you quoted below, wxWidgets
was downgraded back to 2.8.9 for compatibility reasons. I don't have
more details than that.
It's a pity the epoch had to be created, because, as I understand
it, the port will now forever need an epoch number.
I'm not certain why people think that's a pity. Yes, an epoch line
will need to remain in wxWidgets forever, but why is that a problem?
So, out of curiosity, what happens when this port is actually
upgraded to the 2.8.10 release? Can the epoch remain at 1 and the
version bump up to 2.8.10 - will that trigger an upgrade? Or does
the version have to bump up for each new release version?
The epoch can stay at 1 until someone wants to do another downgrade.
MacPorts basically concatenates the numbers epoch_version_revision,
so we had the sequence:
0_2.8.9_0
0_2.8.10_0
1_2.8.9_0
If we later update to 2.8.10 again after resolving whatever the
issues were, it will be:
1_2.8.10_0
It helps to have access to the svn logs:
[ dwe...@x ~/macports/dports/graphics ]$ svn log wxWidgets

wxWidgets: increase epoch so everyone who had 2.8.10 installed gets
prompted to downgrade to 2.8.9.
