wxWidgets 3.2 (a new API/ABI stable release) has been released a few months
ago and is now packaged in unstable as wxwidgets3.2. Upstream has stopped
supporting wxWidgets 3.0, so the Debian wx team would like to migrate all wx
package users to wxwidgets3.2 for bullseye, with the plan to remove
wxwidgets3.0 before release.
For most packages, the transition should be as simple as changing
Build-Depends from libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev to libwxgtk3.2-dev. Some packages
may require small patches; I'm happy to help with those (and I have some
already from working on this transition in Fedora already).
Question from somebody who doesn't know wxWidgets: if the update from
one release to the other is so simple (at least, you make it sound very
simple, and #1019416 has no blocking bugs, so I reckon everything
works?) then why is this not packaged like pretty much any other library
with an unversionde source package and an unversioned -dev binary
package?
