Thanks Kevin, work like this is really helpful and I'm sure will be much
appreciated by the owners in question.
Fortunately you didn't get down as far as rapidsvn, which I already had
in hand and is now built. However, a number of the remaining packages
broken in devel suffer from the same problem which is the wxGTK update.
Some packages may just need a bump-n-build; others (like rapidsvn)
need some small patches for methods/properties that have gone
away/changed in WX 2.8. In my case (and I suspect the same is true for
other packages) there was an open bug upstream with a patch, so
resolution was easy. Hope that's useful to those (owners or otherwise)
trying to fix up broken deps.
