I have added user accounts fgaz and GeorgeThomas on Hackage as maintainers for the wxHaskell-related packages GeBoP, arghwxhaskell, wx, wxAsteroids, wxFruit, wxc, wxcore, wxdirect

Sorry about the delay. You and Francesco Gazzetta are in the admin group since about a year ago, see https://sourceforge.net/p/wxhaskell/admin/groups/

@hjvt We're now working on this at Zurihac and would love to get an up-to-date version of wxHaskell on to Hackage. Would it be possible to add us as maintainers?

#121 Assert failure: wxEXPAND flag will be overridden by alignment flags

2024-02-15T11:29:52.789000Z

I have tracked down the issue. WxWidgets had a problem with an empty WX.row. In former wxwidgets versions this did not cause a warning.

#121 Assert failure: wxEXPAND flag will be overridden by alignment flags

No, I think it is wxwidgets-3.2.4. I have used the Nix scripts and these provide wxwidgets-3.2.4, but the underlying Debian has wxgtk3.0.

Assert failure: wxEXPAND flag will be overridden by alignment flags

2024-02-11T17:16:25.558000Z

I have a non-trivial GUI application that recently shows a failure dialog on startup:

ASSERT INFO:
./src/common/sizer.cpp(1624): assert "CheckSizerFlags ( !(flags & (wxALIGN_BOTTOM | wxALIGN_CENTRE_VERTICAL)) || !(flags & (wxALIGN_RIGHT | wxALIGN_CENTRE_HORIZONTAL)) )" failed in DoInsert(): wxEXPAND flag will be overridden by alignment flags

DO NOT PANIC !!

If you're an end user running a program not developed by you, please ignore this message, it is harmless, and please try reporting the problem to the program developers.

You may also set WXSUPPRESS_SIZER_FLAGS_CHECK environment variable to suppress all such checks when running this program.

If you're the developer, simply remove either wxEXPAND or the alignment in at least one direction from your code to avoid getting this message. You can also call wxSizerFlags::DisableConsistencyChecks() to globally disable all such checks, but this is strongly not recommended.

BACKTRACE:
[1] wxGridSizer::DoInsert(unsigned long, wxSizerItem*)
[2] cdcXS_info ghc_116.c

However, I have not used wxEXPAND in my code. I guess it is implicitly used in wxhaskell code. I'm still investigating what widget actually causes this failure. What can I do to pinpoint the cause?

I am using wx-0.93.0.0 and libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev:amd64 3.0.5.1+dfsg-2.

I got the github invitation, thanks! I didn't get access to sourceforge though.

I'm not quite sure what we'll want to do with the other resources. I think it might be easiest to shut down the SourceForge tracker in favour of GitHub. As for the wiki pages, I'll have to have a think. Unfortunately a lot of the pages on the Haskell wiki in general are pretty out of date these days, with no one really maintaining them, and the trend being towards in-repo documentation.

I think we can keep everything as is for now, it still works fine and the priority is making a release.

If we do want to move, I'm partial to open platforms such as gitlab.haskell.org, codeberg, or sr.ht. I think it doesn't make sense to get locked in a second time. We'll also need sourceforge access to export the tickets.
I think the wiki is ok, and it's also owned by haskell.org which is good. We'll just have to update it. I wouldn't oppose to moving to in-repo docs though.

Thanks! For GitHub, it's the main contributors to the linked thread, which are georgefst, fgaz, and pranaysashank. Also, are you willing to add us as Hackage maintainers? I'm GeorgeThomas, and I believe the other two have the same usernames as on GitHub.

Do you have any interest in continuing to be involved? I'm sure we'd find it very useful to have at least one more experienced wxHaskell maintainer hanging around.

Since the current maintainers seem to be unresponsive, some of us are considering finding a new home for wxHaskell. See https://github.com/wxHaskell/wxHaskell/pull/40#issuecomment-1607861034.

This is a final attempt to reach out and see if anyone is monitoring this tracker.
