Hi,

I have ported the Grass (v. 6.4) GIS app to MacPorts in my private tree. However, Grass relies on Wxpython. In order to get a universal build, I had to use the svn version of Wxpython, the only one compatible with the newest wxWidgets 2.9.0, which features the osx_cocoa 32/64-build.

The standard wxWidgets-devel Portfile, while up to date, lacks the universal/cocoa option. I have a private version of the port called wxWidgets29, that serves as a foundation for both my private "py26- wxpython-devel" port and Grass.

In order to commit Grass and py26-wxpython-devel, is it reasonable to fork wxwindows-devel in wxwindows29 or shall I modify the wxwindows- devel portfile? I proposed the patched version to the owners, but got no response. I feel wxwindows-devel should follow wxWindows development (even into 3.0) while wxwindows29 could be used only for the 2.9 unstable branch.

Opinion?

Vincent
