25 distributed by Debian. If you feel that should change,
e1293dcf 26 please file a bug against the wxwidgets2.5 package, or

27 append your views to a report already there if you're not
28 the first to do so.

33 Oh and, please do *not* file bug reports for these packages
b8723d93 34 to the Debian bts. But do feel free to email me personally

41 You can build these extra packages using the binary-cross target
42 in debian/rules.
43
44
45 It is also possible to build a libwxgtk-dbg-python package.
46 There are some limitations (like this package cannot be installed
47 concurrently with the release version), but some developers may
48 find such a thing useful in any case. It will transparently
49 replace the release package for installed apps that depend on the
50 release package, but should NEVER be used when preparing packages
51 for upload. This package may be created from the source using the
52 binary-dbg-py target in debian/rules. (note that doing this will
53 also destroy any release build that exists in the same tree, they
54 cannot coexist there either yet)
55
56
57 Finally, because all of these packages can take quite some time to
58 build, the source package supports the use of distcc. The package
59 builds will automatically parallelise to suit the number of hosts
60 you have listed in DISTCC_HOSTS. This will work for both native
61 and cross builds of the c++ libraries, if you have the relevant
62 compilers on all your build hosts. wxPython builds cannot be
63 parallelised at this stage and will run serially regardless of
64 your configuration.
