[gentoo-dev] wxGTK 2.6 deprecation

[Ryan Hill]

Just a heads up - we're going to be dropping wxGTK and wxpython 2.6 sometime
in the near-ish future.  If you have packages still depending on these
versions, please migrate them to 2.8 and drop versions using 2.6.  If your
package doesn't work with 2.8 then it probably hasn't seen a release in the
last five years and should go away :P.

The disruption should be minimal.  Some packages will need to be removed, but
most have been migrated and just need newer versions stabilized.  There are
no plans to drop support for 2.6 from the eclass or eselect at this time, so
putting it in an overlay should continue to work.


(I'll be adding the 2.9 development branch to the tree shortly, for those who
have been waiting.)
