In case you meant asking how to do this within CVS, the wxPython module
and its FC-4 and FC-3 branches still exist but are empty. You can copy the
package files from the wxPython2 directory except for the Makefile, rename
the spec file, change the %{name} and add/change the relevant "Provides"
and "Obsoletes" including version and release (so your wxPython packages
upgrade the older wxPythonGTK2 packages).
