I just want to document that there exists a fork of the original wxPerl: https://github.com/sciurius/wxPerl The development of the original version 0.9932 from https://sourceforge.net/p/wxperl/code/HEAD/tree/ seems to be frozen since 2017-04-29, while the fork starts with some SVN checkin (0.9932 plus some more patches of the original author) and adds several patches to this (including Debian and Fedora patches). I asked the author of the fork about maintaining it for CPAN, but he restrains (see https://github.com/ChordPro/chordpro/issues/483#issuecomment-2557677159) Anyway, we should consider using his fork as a new base of libwx-perl instead of the 7 year old "official" CPAN version. Greetings Roland
In the meantime I found some more information about the fork: - An announcement of the fork: https://dev.to/sciurius/wxperl-revival-5fde - A mailing list about wxPerl: https://lists.perl.org/list/wxperl-users.html - A (closed) github issue about (not) taking over CPAN maintainership: https://github.com/sciurius/wxPerl/issues/1 I did a little test build with the fork and noted, that only gtk3.patch, wxWidgets_3.2_MakeMaker.patch, and wxWidgets_3.2_port.patch seem to be already in the fork, while the other patches still apply (didn't check which are really required or necessary anymore). Greetings Roland
