I'll fix up the formatting eventually. Any of the listed todo items are up for grabs. The idea here is to update as much as we can and make the eventually switch over as painless as possible.

Apparently, kicad is moving to wxwidgets so this also affects it in the 6.X series ( T10090)

vba-m I can attest that it'll always work with the most recent developmental version of wxwidgets, we basically track that while maintaining current stable. Now that current stable is out.

Also regarding wxwidgets, 3.0 and 3.2 can live side by side, that way if any application needs 3.0 still, I can still rely on that until they don't need it anymore.

We've discussed about creating a new package for the current (old) version of wxwidgets and updating the main wxwidgets to the latest version. That way we could move the majority of things to the new wxwidgets version but keeping packages which don't work with the new version on the old version instead of forcing them through. To do this, we would need to have both versions of wxwidgets co-installable which may prove tricky.

It's a lot easier than you think, by default wxwidgets 3.2 installs to /usr/include/wx-3.2/ the only thing we would need to handle is the wxrc and wx-config script and binary since those would conflict with 3.0

Haven't found the time to look at co-installable wxwidgets versions yet unfortunately, but in theory it should be quite simple.

Here's my attempt at a coinstallable package:

name       : wxwidgets3.2
version    : 3.2.0
release    : 1
source     :
    - https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/download/v3.2.0/wxWidgets-3.2.0.tar.bz2 : 356e9b55f1ae3d58ae1fed61478e9b754d46b820913e3bfbc971c50377c1903a
license    : LGPL-2.0-or-later WITH WxWindows-exception-3.1
component  : desktop.library
summary    : Cross-platform UI toolkit library
description: |
    wxWidgets gives you a single, easy-to-use API for writing GUI applications on multiple platforms that still utilize the native platform's controls and utilities. Link with the appropriate library for your platform and compiler, and your application will adopt the look and feel appropriate to that platform. On top of great GUI functionality, wxWidgets gives you: online help, network programming, streams, clipboard and drag and drop, multithreading, image loading and saving in a variety of popular formats, database support, HTML viewing and printing, and much more.

    install -Dm00755 $pkgfiles/wx3.2-config -t $installdir/usr/bin

Also made some slight tweaks to files/wx-config. Renamed to wx3.2-config and adjusted the script to point to /usr/share/wxwidgets3.2.

I'm not sure how important the bits I nuked are, but hopefully this puts things on the right track.

In the repository wxwidgets2.8 is already a patch for making parallel install possible:
https://dev.getsol.us/source/wxwidgets2.8/browse/master/files/wxGTK-collision.patch

Maybe it is as easy as copying that patch for new wxwidgets3.2.

vba-m is always tested against newer wxwidgets typically, so it should be alright, next version that's upcoming also fixes a few things... Mainly wayland side
