You can also propose topics in the meeting while it is in the "Free
discussion around Fedora Extras" phase.
/topic FESCO-Meeting -- Extras 7 preparation -- roadmap, broken deps,
key packages (wxGTK2 issues solved?), rebuilds, FE7Target bug, mail
to all package owners?
Regarding wxGTK2, I'm not sure that all is well there yet. The current
stable release of the official BitTorrent client (the bittorrent package
in Extras) is developed using wx 2.6.x and doesn't work out of the box
with 2.8.x due to some code that specifically requests version 2.6. If
this code is tweaked to request version 2.8, the GUI client gets as far
as displaying the main window and then segfaults in a logging routine.
Working around that one just leads to another segfault somewhere else
and it ends up as a game of whack-a-mole with segfaults (see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=223623).
The upstream BitTorrent maintainer reckons that the wxPython appears to
be broken. I don't know either way, but if someone more familiar with
wxPython could take a look at it, I'd be most grateful.
The same problems occur on Rawhide and on FC6 with the wxGTK and
wxPython 2.8 SRPMs from the devel branch rebuilt on FC6 (i.e. it's not a
python 2.5 problem). With the FC6 wx 2.6 packages, the GUI client works OK.
