Hi Vince,

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?
Since there are no opinions on this, I'd say do what you think is
best. I think your proposal makes sense. With regards to grass, I
would update the current "grass" port to 6.4 and link to the wx*-devel
ports, and make a new "grass63" port with the current grass portfile.
Usually the ports with a version in the name are the old ones.
Cheers!
Frank
