Hi,
Upstream wxPython has finally made a new release and this involves migrating to wxWidgets 3.2.0 at the same time. I'm planning to build the new wxPython in Rawhide after F37 branch (although could put it in F37 later).
For those packages that use both wxPython and wxWidgets (I *think* this is just kicad?), do you want me to do this in a side-tag so we can switch the packages at the same time? Or just build in rawhide and let you fix things up?
That is very good news, Scott. The upstream KiCad devs are working on 3.2.0 right now, as part of their efforts to support the new M1 Apple machines.
If KiCad is the only customer, I'd say there is no need to do a side-tag, unless that is easier for you. I'm fine either way.
I should add that I would like to see this in F37 at some point, because that will help with retiring the old wxWidgets code from KiCad sooner.
Yeah, we can get the changes into F37.
So KiCad isn't quite ready to move yet? I can hold off until you're ready.
I've spoken with the upstream KiCad developers, and based on that conversation I think you should go ahead and put the new wxWidgets / wxPython into Rawhide when it is convenient for you, without waiting for KiCad.
There is a KiCad Copr [1], where we make nightly pre-release builds of what will become the KiCad 7.x series, with 7.0.0 probably releasing towards the end of the year. The KiCad 7 series is where the upstream devs prefer to integrate with the new wxWidgets / wxPython both because of the risk of new bugs and also so they don't have to backport fixes to the older KiCad 6.x series.
So, once you have the new wxWidgets / wxPython in Rawhide, I'll try it out locally and in our Copr. Based on how that goes, we can consider switching over the downstream Rawhide builds. But based on the way the timing has worked out, and because we don't want to do a major version upgrade of KiCad in a stable Fedora release, we may not be able to switch KiCad to the new wxWidgets / wxPython in F37.
