[SOLVED] rant: wxPython
by derguteweka from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5DJ1W)
Moin,
What's causing the developers of wxPython to work like this?
Heck, some years ago, wxPython seems to be completely dead, the last version very old, still needing gstreamer-0.x., where everybody else was able also to use gstreamer-1.x
Now the complete opposite:
The current version of wxPython: 4.1.1 includes/downloads (wasn't there to watch) somehow some crippeled version of "wxWidgets-3.1.5".
But this is not yet available, it seems to be just just the master branch in git. So not really approved by the wxWidgets guys as 3.1.5.
Pls,Pls, dear wxPython developers: Just do it like most other sensible developers do: Don't include "special" versions of other dependencies into your source. Just take the available libraries in available versions, e.g. one marked as stable, one as bleeding-edge.
Preferably: Let your software be able to be linked against several Versions of the dependencies. Not just the latest-itzi-bitzy one.
Gruss
