wxWidgets/wxWidgets-devel, from Packman, "provides" wxGTK. So even after editing the spec file both libraries will be accepted.
Given that Packman's wxWidgets is incompatible with our wxGTK that IMNSHO calls for a cluebat commando.
The problem *this time* is that openSUSE builds wih --enable-stl and Packman doesn't.
The problem here are the wxWidgets developers themselves. They recommend compiling with --enable-stl but don't make it the default. Using STL containers will disable some wxWidget features, which makes it necessary to change code that relies on those features. Again the wxWidgets folks could have made it simpler be making --enable-stl the default and thus increasing the pressure on authors of packages that use wxWidgets to change their code.
- Not sure why Packman builds an specific version. It's supposed to provide extra features, but it's not clear which ones. So users can't make an informed decision about which version they want. - There seems to be zero cooperation between openSUSE and Packman packagers. Perhaps those extra features could be added to the openSUSE package if asked?
I had the same idea and now that factory is open to all there is no need for two wxWidgets packages. So I've sent a mail to both the packman and the openSUSE maintainer to get them to talk to each other.
