[arch-dev-public] wxgtk split
Hi, As you may have noticed, the wxgtk package is now a split package that build both gtk2 and gtk3 versions. The gtk2 package is a drop-in replacement for the old wxgtk package, so by default all packages will keep building against gtk2. If you maintain a wx-based package, you may want to try switching to build against wxgtk3, which offers some additional features (hipdi, smooth scrolling, touchscreen support). To allow coinstallability, the wx-config script has been renamed to wx- config-gtk3 in the GTK3 package, so in order to build against the gtk3 version the script name needs to be specified at build time (--with-wx- config=/usr/bin/wx-config-gtk3 for autotools, - DwxWidgets_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/wx-config-gtk3 for cmake)

We already have an official linux package in [core] which is very well maintained and works great for 99% of our users, so I'd really like if you tried to explain why we need another variant and why the AUR is not suitable for it anymore. As you're aware, we've had another package (linux-grsec) with a user base certainly much larger than linux-multipath come and go because upstream went another direction and nobody had the resources to fork it. I'd really like our packages to enjoy some level of support and not just go to [community] "because they can" and get dropped just as fast. What could you tell us about linux-multipath on that front?

Now I'm not saying that you shouldn't add it, just that I'm not sure how useful of an addition it would be.
