 Priority:  Normal       |  Milestone:
Component:  ports        |    Version:  2.1.3
 Keywords:               |       Port:  codeblocks FileZilla fityk hugin-
                         |  app lisaem py-wxpython rt-volume-rendering
                         |  usbprog wxd otrproxy
-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Not all versions of wxWidgets work on all platforms, and as such, that
 means some of their dependents won't work on all platforms, either. Path-
 style dependencies would allow the ports to work regardless of the version
 of wxWidgets installed. However, if the version of wxWidgets used does
 actually make a difference for a port, this could instead be accomplished
 by variants allowing the selection of the wxWidgets version of the user's
 choice. Currently ports that depend on wxWidgets and do not use either
 path-style dependencies or variants are:
 - codeblocks
 - FileZilla
 - fityk
 - lisaem
 - py*wxpython
 - rt-volume-rendering
 - usbprog
 - wxd
 - otrproxy

 For an example of a port that does things the right way, check out
 Poedit's portfile (it does the variants method).
