Bug Description
wxWidgets/wxPython 2.8.4.2 has been released and it is hoped that it can make it into Gutsy. I spent a lot of time updating the debian/rules and other control files to try to bring it more in line with standards and also some of the changes have been done in the MOTU version of the packages. Some of the relevant changes are:
* It's now using the pycentral debhelper, and will move the package modules under /usr/share/
* Will build build Python extensions for whatever Python versions are in `pyversions -r`
* It autodetects whether to build the python-wxgtk2.8-dbg package, only if it can be installed side-by-side with the non-dbg package (Feisty and above.)
* There is a source tarball that has been stripped down somewhat from the regular wxPython-src tarball. It's had the OS X and MSW stuff removed so it is a few meg smaller. You can pull this tarball (and the .diff.gz and .dsc files) from my APT repository at http://
I hope that these changes to the build control files will enable a smoother integration of wxPython into Ubutu now and in the future, and that it will mean less work for you. If there are other build related changes that you suggest please let me know.
