23 distributed by Debian. If you feel that should change,
e1293dcf 24 please file a bug against the wxwidgets2.5 package, or

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

31 Oh and, please do *not* file bug reports for these packages
b8723d93 32 to the Debian bts. But do feel free to email me personally

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