What happened to the wxgtk-2.6 package?

PhotonX · 2010-03-29 17:24:04

Hello community!

One of my AUR packages (graphthing) depends on wxgtk-2.6. Unfortunately this app isn't developed any more so it's quite hopeless to await compatibility to newer versions of wxgtk. Recently, I discovered that wxgtk-2.6 is gone from AUR. Why has it been removed? Is there a way to get it in again?

Thanks,
PhotonX

It's in extra.

PhotonX · 2010-03-30 15:13:38

Hmm, strange, I get following when trying to install graphthing:

==> graphthing dependencies:
 - wxgtk-2.6 (building from AUR)
 - libpng12 (building from AUR)
 - libjpeg7 (building from AUR)
 - flex (already installed)
==>  Continue the building of graphthing ? [Y/n]

So yaourt is trying to find the package on AUR where it doesn't exist.

Also yaourt doesn't find the package in extra:

Yaourt does find wxgtk in extra. It's the first entry listed in the results of `yaourt wxgtk`.

The problem is that your PKGBUILD is asking for a package called precisely wxgtk-2.6, which doesn't exist. If you have an explicit need for that version, I suggest you modify wxgtk's PKGBUILD in ABS and build it yourself. Regardless, you'll need to edit the PKGBUILD of whatever you're building to get rid of this phony dependency.

tl;dr version: ditch yaourt.

Well as I wrote in my first post the problem is that graphthing isn't developed any more and so there is no compatibility to wxgtk >2.6, so it needs gtk-2.6 which used to be in the AUR and is gone now...

So the only possibility to get wxgtk-2.6 back to the AUR is to create a new PKGBUILD for it? Isn't there some archive where old PKGBUILDS are stored where one could get this PKGBUILD from?

falconindy · 2010-03-30 16:48:48

Old PKGBUILD? Why? It is available, but you don't need it.

As I mentioned, you can take the PKGBUILD out of ABS and modify it (to build 2.6 rather than 2.8). The source for 2.6.4 is still hosted here.

I don't know where to get PKGBUILDs of extra packages so I've taken the PKGBUILD of wxgtk-2.9 from AUR. But I get following error when trying to run makepkg (the make part is quite short since it's the second run):

This will give you the latest PKGBUILD (and a patch for your problem) for wxgtk 2.6 at the time when it was removed from extra repo.

$ wget "http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/package … 99&isdir=1"
$ tar -xzvf index.html\?op\=dl\&rev\=64499\&peg\=64499\&isdir\=1

Snowman, thanks! So shall I just upload this PKGBUILD to the AUR to make it accessible as dep? Or does anyone else want to maintain it (since I'm not very familiar with those patches that are needed to make it run)?
