wxPython-devel fork?

[vincent habchi]

Hi,

I have ported the Grass (v. 6.4) GIS app to MacPorts in my private  
tree. However, Grass relies on Wxpython. In order to get a universal  
build, I had to use the svn version of Wxpython, the only one  
compatible with the newest wxWidgets 2.9.0, which features the  
osx_cocoa 32/64-build.

The standard wxWidgets-devel Portfile, while up to date, lacks the  
universal/cocoa option. I have a private version of the port called  
wxWidgets29, that serves as a foundation for both my private "py26- 
wxpython-devel" port and Grass.

In order to commit Grass and py26-wxpython-devel, is it reasonable to  
fork wxwindows-devel in wxwindows29 or shall I modify the wxwindows- 
devel portfile? I proposed the patched version to the owners, but got  
no response. I feel wxwindows-devel should follow wxWindows  
development (even into 3.0) while wxwindows29 could be used only for  
the 2.9 unstable branch.

Opinion?
