Bug#645890: python-avc: Please drop alternative dependency on python-wxgtk2.6
Package: python-avc Version: 0.3.18-10 Severity: minor User: freewx-ma...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: wx2.6to2.8 I'm trying to get packages to migrate from wxwidgets2.6 to wxwidgets2.8 so we can remove the former from the archive - it's no longer supported upstream, and wxwidgets3.0 is supposed to be out early next year. Currently python-avc suggests python-wxgtk2.6|python-wxgtk2.8. However the upstream code doesn't use wxversion to specify any preference as to the wx versions to use, which means it will already get run with 2.8 if both versions are installed and the user hasn't changed the wx.pth alternative setting from the default. Since python-wxgtk2.8 has more than twice as many popcon installations as python-wxgtk2.6, the reality is that many users will have been running with 2.8 for some time already, so dropping the alternative dependency on python-wxgtk2.6 should be a painless change. If you'd like me to NMU this change, please just let me know. Cheers, Olly -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
