Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition

There are now packages with a GTK3 build of wxwidgets3.0, and these have
just migrated to testing.  We'd like to start to encourage dependent
packages to switch to this instead of the GTK2 build.

The GTK2 and GTK3 flavours coexist so dependent packages can move
over individually and we don't need a transition slot, but it would be
useful to have a transition tracker set up to help track progress.

We've already switched a few source packages.  The list of remaining
affected source packages is:

0ad
3depict
4pane
aegisub
amule
audacity
bochs
bossa
cba
chipw
codeblocks
codelite
ctsim
cubicsdr
darkradiant
delaboratory
dolphin-emu
ebook2cwgui
erlang
espeakedit
eviacam
filezilla
fityk
flamerobin
freedink-dfarc
freedv
freespace2-launcher-wxlauncher/contrib
fwknop-gui
gentle
ginkgocadx
gnudatalanguage
gnuplot
golly
gspiceui
hugin
icinga2
jugglemaster
kicad
lamarc
libwx-glcanvas-perl
libwx-perl
libwx-scintilla-perl
limesuite
maitreya
mathgl
mediainfo
megaglest
mriconvert
mrpt
munipack
objcryst-fox
openbabel
openmsx-catapult
openyahtzee
passwordsafe
pcsx2
pgadmin3
pgn2web
plee-the-bear
plplot
poedit
qutemol
rapidsvn
saga
sandboxgamemaker/contrib
scorched3d
scummvm-tools
silverjuke
sitplus
slic3r-prusa
sooperlooper
spatialite-gui
spek
springlobby
stimfit
stx-btree
thuban
tintii
treesheets
treeviewx
trustedqsl
ucblogo
usbprog
wxastrocapture
wxhexeditor
wxmaxima
wxsqlite3
xchm
xmlcopyeditor

The procedure for updating these is to update the BDs to use the
wxgtk*3.0-gtk3-dev package(s) instead of wxgtk*3.0-dev, check that the
package still builds OK, and then check that the result works OK.

(There's also wxpython3.0 which has already been switched but is waiting
to clear binary-NEW.)

Cheers,
    Olly
