Description Neal Gompa 2021-06-10 15:34:05 UTC
Description of problem:
SDL 1.2 development ended long ago, with SDL 2.0 replacing it. However, many older games still use SDL 1.2 and cannot change to SDL 2.0. In order to help move SDL 1.2 games into the modern world, we should replace SDL 1.2 with sdl12-compat, which uses SDL 2.0.

Additional info:
Fedora 35 Change document: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SDL12onSDL2

The sdl12-compat package is now present in Rawhide.

The native package spec may be a helpful reference for a mingw-sdl12-compat package: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/sdl12-compat/blob/rawhide/f/sdl12-compat.spec

Comment 1 Neal Gompa 2021-06-15 12:19:00 UTC
I've packaged and imported mingw-sdl12-compat into Fedora so we can drop mingw-SDL now.

Comment 2 Sandro Mani 2021-06-16 12:49:35 UTC
Done, thanks for packaging mingw-sdl12-compat!
