Description Neal Gompa 2021-06-02 19:18:57 CEST

Description of problem:
SDL12 is dead. There is no releases planned, and upstream is focused on SDL2. Now upstream has created sdl12-compat to replace SDL12 with SDL2.


This is already being done in Fedora, and at the request of David Walser, I filed this bug for Mageia to do it too.

"This Change proposes to replace SDL 1.2 with sdl12-compat, which uses SDL 2.0."
Does this imply replacing the old pkg with a new & different one?

Different people commit this parentless pkg, so no choice but to assign the bug globally.

Comment 4 David Walser 2021-06-02 21:56:55 CEST

Yes, the compat one is basically a shim that maps the old API to the new one, allowing applications that haven't been ported to the new library to use it, instead of requiring us to keep the old unmaintained one.

I'm working on it

Why did you use an Epoch here? You didn't need to do that: http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/sdl12-compat/current/SPECS/sdl12-compat.spec?view=markup&pathrev=1729733#l21

Comment 7 Thierry Vignaud 2021-06-10 16:11:28 CEST

In order for upgrade to happen despite the new version being lower:

Oh, right. I didn't have that problem in Fedora when I replaced it there. :)

Comment 9 Hans Micheelsen 2024-03-12 16:00:53 CET

Shouldn't this be closed. lib64SDL1.2 is in Mga 9 with version 1.2.60 and in Cauldron with version 1.2.68.
Are there any loose ends?

Comment 10 David GEIGER 2024-03-12 18:18:30 CET

Right, both mga9 and Cauldron were fixed, so closing of this bug!
