Re: wxwindows2.4 is scheduled to be removed
The current status of CTSim is:
1) It's stored in a local git repository. I've made local git branches
for porting to wx2.6 and wx2.8
with the main changes being conversions of all strings to Unicode. The
source compiles
without warnings, but segfaults during GTK font initialization. I've
worked a bit with the wx
maintainer so took a look at the error, but no solution has been
found. I went as fair as to comment
out all the application-specific code from the wx startup function,
but it still segfaults. I looked for
string overflows, but didn't find any.
2) I had the minor changes for Homepage, Vcs, Standards-Version -- but
haven't uploaded
them since the main issue is that I've not been able to successfully
port to wx2.6 or 2.8. Plus,
I made those changes to the 2.6 or 2.8 branch and haven't quite
figured out how to apply that
patch to the wx2.4 (main) branch.
3) I'd welcome help with the wx port and fixing current bugs. If group
maintenance is the
best way to achieve that, then I'm agreeable to that. Alternately, I
can handle all of the sophisticated
mathematics in the program, so perhaps one time help on the wx port
would be all would be necessary.
I prefer the latter, but, as above, I'm agreeable to the former.
If it seems helpful, I can tarball my current git development
repository and post it on my web server.
(Since I'm not that familiar with dealing with branches between a
development repository and my
master git repository, I've not pushed the wx2.6 and wx2.8 local
branches to ctsim's master public
repository which is git://git.b9.com/ctsim.git.) If someone could help
with pushing my local porting branches
to a master git repository, that might be best so that everyone submit
patches relative to the master
repository.
Thanks for your interest, Andreas,
Kevin

GTK 1.2 is scheduled for removal (and wx2.4 along with it)
Kevin, IMHO it would be a good idea if you would keep the Debian Med
list informed about the current state of ctsim. The package is in
danger to be removed, has some easy to fix wishlist bugs with patches,
contains outdated (Standards-Version) and incomplete information
in debian/control (Homepage, Vcs is missing). You did not answered
my question [1] whether you agree to group maintenance. If you would
I might try to upgrade the package to current policy and fix the
bugs with patches. While doing so I might give recent wx stuff a
try. Just give us an update please.
Kind regards
Andreas.
