I've created multimedia:libs/wxWidgets-3_0-nostl which is a copy of X11:wxWidgets / wxWidgets-3_0 that is built without Standard Template Library (stl). The reason for this is that due to the fact that no other major distribution builds wxWidgets with stl the audacity developers aren't interested in fixing their software to build with stl enabled wxWidgets. Wouldn't it make more sense just to create that package without copying, just by adding another *.spec file and make a link package? Maintaining two variants in two different projects is really painful and error-prone. You can create a link to m:libs once after the

If it's the case, we have to reconsider whether it's a good idea to have a package without STL at all. Is it only about the maintenance burden, or is it by other reasons? (Now adding Jan to Cc.)
From a maintenance point of view I just have to keep patches up to date and follow wxWidgets. I don't mind too much as long as it's only in multimedia:libs. But, we need to push this to FACTORY/TW (since audacity requires it now), and this is a bigger problem from the maintenance POV.
A wxWidgets link would be the easiest way, it would be low maintainance and wouldn't need a linked package in Packman. Yes.
Takashi If you use : https://maintainer.zq1.de/?pkg=audacity&type=auto&.submit=Search#audacity you will see that all the major distributions have audacity-2.1.2 and when the update was released I searched for a solution and have found

At least one openSUSE user on the audacity forum rolled her own wxWidgets in order to update audacity, this is a quote from the audacity forum : Gale Andrews wrote: Are you using system wxWidgets that uses STL? Audacity will fail to compile with the issues you see in that case. If you self-build wxWidgets 3.0.2 from https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/download/v3.0.2/wxWidgets-3.... with no configure arguments, install that Widgets build then run ldconfig, Audacity should build fine. Gale This will cause more trouble with the system than having a wxWidgets without stl will. Are we working to have a stable distribution or are we working on something else.
