Comment (by mojca@…):

 Replying to [comment:15 rowue@…]:
 > I think we should focus on future (perhaps simply drop this variant).

 I totally support dropping wxpython-2.8. That would simplify the port a
 lot. You just need to make sure that you also change `py-sogl` where you
 declared a dependency on `wxpython-2.8` (the only reason for that was
 `pyphant` that couldn't be built against wxwidgets 3.0 earlier).

 If I was you, I would declare dependency on wxpython-3.0 (both in pyphant
 and sogl) and stop worrying.

 > We also like to do this step by step, so we decided to work along wx-3.0
 at first and after everything is fine and settled (including openening
 maintainership) move on to the subports.

 Subports are straightforward and don't require any larger abount of work
 or thinking, you take my example (and modify/ignore my changes for option
 names). Once you move, changing the rest will become easier as well.

 > As i remember you also had some notices about our app bundle (which we
 have cleaned up a little bit by now),

 I wanted to clean exactly those bits and pieces that you already fixed.
 Earlier you manually copied files to assemble the app, now that happens in
 a Portgroup which is a lot cleaner. (Pyphant sources could in principle
 also build the app by themselves, but I wouldn't worry about that now. You
 can take care of that later.)

 (Maybe I was talking about conflicts between Pyphant.app when using Python
 2.6 vs. Python 2.7, but if you call the app Pyphant-2.X.app you are on the
 safe side, so I wouldn't bother right now either.)

 > so I would suggest, we first fix the app bundle and afterwards move to
 subports.

 The app bundle basically works – apart from the fact that it tries to use
 X11 when there's no reason to do so. I would look into optimizing other
 issues, in particular it would be nice if there was no need for an
 intermediate shell script, to figure out if it's possible to change the
 icon etc., but those are minor issues. No hurry about those.
