Package: wxwindows2.4
Version: 2.4.5.1
Severity: important


  Hi, your package has been detected as generating a python
module/extension that may need an upgrade to the new Python Policy[1].

  A wiki page [2] explains what has to be done to upgrade your packages
to the new Policy. This bug may be a false positive, in that case,
please just close the bug.

  This bug is part of a mass bug filling, and its severity will be
raised to serious when python will default to python2.4. Please note
that this bug (even not being RC) falls under the 0-day NMU policy.

Subject: python-wxgtk2.4 is breaking every package depending on it

severity 373411 grave
thanks

Hi!

python-wxgtk2.4 has not been transitioned to the new Debian policy.
This now breaks package depending on it (#391075 is an example),
severity has been raised accordingly.

The best solution could be to ship etch without the obsolete
python-wxgtk2.4 at all.  Here's the remaining reverse dependencies:

  thuban
    Depends: python-wxgtk2.4

  python-twisted-core
    Suggests: python-wxgtk2.4 | python-wxgtk2.6
    --> Obsolete suggests can be dropped

  python-serial
    Suggests: python-wxgtk2.6 | python-wxgtk2.4 | python-wxgtk
    --> Obsolete suggests can be dropped

  python-dsv
    Suggests: python-wxgtk2.6 | python-wxgtk2.4
    --> Obsolete suggests can be dropped

  pyro-gui
    Depends: python-wxgtk2.4

  openrpg
    Depends: python-wxgtk2.6 | python-wxgtk2.4
    --> Obsolete depends can be dropped

  londonlaw
    Depends: python-wxgtk2.6 | python-wxgtk2.4
    --> Obsolete depends can be dropped

  gnue-forms
    Depends: python-wxgtk2.4 | python-gtk2

  gnue-designer
    Depends: python-wxgtk2.4
    
  collatinus
    Depends: python-wxgtk2.6 | python-wxgtk2.4
    --> Obsolete depends can be dropped

  bittornado-gui
    Suggests: python-wxgtk2.4
    --> Patch already submitted: #391792

So we are left with thuban, pyro-gui (work have already been done on
it), gnue-forms and gnue-designer (both currently RC buggy).

I will try to resolve this issue during the next days.

Hi!

In fact gnue-designer is already ready to use python-wxgtk2.6, and
gnue-forms needs to be updated to last upstream minor update to do so.

This should be fixed.  Anyone familiar with the changes required,
please do so.  I don't have time to come up to speed on this
immediately.

Why is it that python seems to blind almost all of its users to
anything that is _not_ python?  (this is not a snipe, I'm genuinely
curious ...)

In this case, what you missed appears to be, at least:
Reverse Depends:
  wstools,libwxgtk2.4-1 2.4.4.1.1
  trustedqsl,libwxgtk2.4-1 2.4.4.1.1

  ecosconfig,libwxgtk2.4-1 2.4.5.1
  ctsim,libwxgtk2.4-1
  audacity,libwxgtk2.4-1 2.4.5.1

And I personally am not too keen on hounding all those people to
deal with the bugs later wx versions may introduce into their apps,
on the very eve of a major release -- since it seems fairly clear
that is not what they wish to spend their time on at present.

If one of our pythonistas would like to bring this package into
their brave new world, it would clearly save everyone a lot of
pain and disruption, given these packages have mostly been
successfully frozen and release ready for longer than the
base system has...  ;}

They are clearly stable, and according to popcon, clearly have
plenty of users still.  It seems a bit silly to toss out stable
software just because we are in the process of making a stable
release...

best,
Ron

The interface changes between python-wxgtk2.4 and python-wxgtk2.6 are
minor.  It's really easy to port an application from the former to the
later.

Also, my research about the possibility to remove python-wxgtk2.4
demonstrated that it could be easily done, either by really small
patches (done for bittorent-gui and pyro) and update to newer upstream
versions (e.g. thuban, gnue-forms).

I was interested in helping this transition for Python because it seemed
doable whereas a lot harder for other bindings.  I see this as a
first step to get wxwindows2.4 and gtk1.2 out of etch+1.

But if you think that the maintainers of the remaining blocker bugs
(only 6, as two of them are Depending on both python-wxgtk2.4 and
python-wxgtk2.6) won't be able to act on time, you can just withdraw the
work I've done.
