Speaking as a maintainer of it, the short answer is that I have not
had time to untangle the mess that is the most recent upstream 2.4.2 release. Upstream has
made many changes that are becoming unfriendly to packagers in the recent release that I
haven't had the day or so it would probably take to sort through them (they
completely removed their autotools build system in a patch release - with no deprecation
warning and without a fully working CMake build system that can use system libraries, they
are switching to their own fork of wxWidgets and are starting to enforce its usage by
build system checks, etc.).
I basically took the package to make sure it didn't get retired
during the FTBFS after GCC 10 landed, but I am not a daily user of it. If you want to help
maintain the package, just let me know and I can add you.
