<br>
The port py-wxpython-2.8 currently supports two conflicting variants:<br>
+carbon (32-bit Carbon-based wxWidgets)<br>
+gtk (GTK-based wxWidgets)<br>
<br>
On 10.6 the variant +carbon is the default one, while on 10.7 and<br>
later only +gtk can be used anyway.<br>
<br>
I would like to remove the variant "+carbon" because it complicates<br>
matters more than necessary and removing it only affects "outdated"<br>
software on "outdated" OS in the way that users would be forced to use<br>
X11 instead of 32-bit Carbon, but the ports would still work.<br>
<br>
<br>
The kind of complications I'm talking about is that a port like<br>
py-robotframework-ride would need to explicitly support three<br>
different variants (wxwidgets30, wxwidgets28, wxgtk28), set<br>
"supported_archs i386 ppc" with wxwidgets28, refuse to compile with<br>
Xcode 4.4 and later, make sure that the right variant is active<br>
(require_active_variants port:py${python.version}-wxpython-2.8 carbon gtk)<br>
and be executed with 'arch -i386 <binary_name>'. Without all that the<br>
building on the buildbot fails.<br>
<br>
<br>
List of ports that depend on wxPython 2.8:<br>
- gis/grass (broken at the moment anyway)<br>
- python/py-robotframework-ride<br>
- python/py26-pyphant (kind-of-broken, compatibility with 3.0 almost finished)<br>
- python/py-pyface (also supports Qt which is superior)<br>
<br>
- editors/spe (somewhat outdated)<br>
- python/py-dsv (somewhat outdated)<br>
<br>
If anyone has a strong argument against the removal of Carbon support<br>
in wxPython 2.8, please speak now.<br>
