#40333: py-wxpython-2.8 dependencies: add proper variants for proper use of
wxWidgets-2.8 vs. wxgtk-2.8
-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------

Type: defect | Status: new

Keywords: | Port: py-wxpython-2.8 spe grass
| bittorrent py-dsv py-pyface py-rotoframework-
| ride py26-pypthant
-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
All dependencies of `py-wxpython-2.8` need variants to account for the
difference between linking against `py-wxpython-2.8 +carbon` and `py-
wxpython-2.8 +gtk`. These ports are:
* editors/spe
* gis/grass (see also #36904)
* net/bittorrent
* python/py-dsv
* python/py-robotframework-ride (see also #40297)
* python/py26-pyphant
Plus maybe those with (temporarily?) disabled support for wxWidgets:
* games/sounddecompress
* python/py-pyface (see also #40207)
On Xcode >= 4.4 `py-wxpython-2.8` can only be installed with `+gtk`, so
there is no problem, but with earlier releases of Xcode where `+carbon` is
default, these dependencies need to be aware of incompatibility with
`x86_64`, `clang` and possibly other minor issues.
On top of that some ports are conditionally compatible with `py-
wxpython-3.0` and one needs to keep in mind that `py27-wxpython-2.8` is
conflicting with `py27-wxpython-3.0` and the reasonable compromise I see
is to allow these ports to link against `py26-wxpython-2.8` in order to
allow side-by-side installation with dependencies of `py27-wxpython-3.0`.
I would suggest to provide options with consistent/equal names for all the
listed ports, but I'm looking for suggestions.
Just an additional note is that at least `bittorrent`, `py-dsv` and `spe`
seem relatively "abandoned" upstream and also have no maintainer.
