[arch-dev-public] wxgtk split
Hi, As you may have noticed, the wxgtk package is now a split package that build both gtk2 and gtk3 versions. The gtk2 package is a drop-in replacement for the old wxgtk package, so by default all packages will keep building against gtk2. If you maintain a wx-based package, you may want to try switching to build against wxgtk3, which offers some additional features (hipdi, smooth scrolling, touchscreen support). To allow coinstallability, the wx-config script has been renamed to wx- config-gtk3 in the GTK3 package, so in order to build against the gtk3 version the script name needs to be specified at build time (--with-wx- config=/usr/bin/wx-config-gtk3 for autotools, - DwxWidgets_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/wx-config-gtk3 for cmake)

Packages using wx-webview (boinc, moneymanagerex and perhaps some other via wxpython) should get high priority for porting. Besides gnucash, these are the only packages left using the insecure webkitgtk.
