Description Alain Portal 2007-08-27 14:40:43 EDT

The KiCad lastest version (2007-07-09) needs at least wxGTK-2.7.1 and I should 
want to package this release for FC-6.
So, I'll be happy if you agree to package a such release for FC-6.

Comment 1 Matthew Miller 2007-08-27 15:00:30 EDT

Every updated release of wxGTK brings up new and exciting bugs in various
programs that use it. I'd really like to avoid going out of the 2.6.x series on
FC-6. However, Fedora 7 and newer have wxGTK 2.8.x, which sounds like it'll work
for what you need. I know it's nice to not neglect the older releases, but we
have to balance that with the possible downsides.

Comment 2 Alain Portal 2007-08-29 07:02:17 EDT

I understand the problem and respect your position.
Is wxGTK 2.8.x in FC-6 possible?
Do you have a try?

Comment 3 Chitlesh GOORAH 2007-08-29 07:13:11 EDT

It might be possible.

But it is NOT recommended for FC-6 as it will break many packages which reply 
on wxgtk. Not to say, many users will have yum dependencies errors.

If it break many packages, one should build compat-wxgtk-26 !

I suggest kicad to be updated on F-7 and onwards.
