Title: Go for inclusion in Hardy?
Post by: Kazade on March 01, 2008, 08:47:32 am
Hi,

I was just wondering, now that we have a stable release are you developers gonna try to get it into the Ubuntu Hardy repositories?

The Debian Bug for tracking codeblocks packaging is: 304570 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=304570)

I think the process had to be restarted after the switch to wxWidgets 2.8,
as I believe Debian was only officially providing libraries for wxWidgets 2.6...

(my limited understanding is that Ubuntu wants packages to be in Debian first)

Debian has wxWidgets 2.8.7 in experimental since about a week or two. So the way to at least unstable might be not so long.

Ubuntu will accept a package that is not in Debian. There is a team that can then help you get your package into Debian, if you wish.

wxFormBuilder has the same dependency on wx2.8, but has been accepted into Ubuntu Hardy.

However, Hardy is now in feature freeze, so Code::Blocks would need to get a feature freeze exception, or wait for the next one.

Wouldn't hurt to have it in both, of course :-)
(thanks for clearing that confusion of mine up)

I think that there is a version in Fedora too:
