Hello,
Is this some kind of official change, or how should it be interpreted (I am
sorry I don't recognise your name) ?
If I look at http://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/ the repository
http://www.tt-solutions.com/ubuntu/ is listed, so it is now unclear to me
which repository is the official one for wxWidgets. So far I have used
http://www.tt-solutions.com/ubuntu/
It is important for me to know, because I have a wxWidgets C++ application
and an install script that enables the wxWidgets repository on user machines
so that my .deb file will properly resolve dependencies to wxWidgets 2.8.4.
My program does not use wxPython. The install script runs on user's machines
that I have no control over and those users don't know about wxWidgets etc.
Can you clarify please?
