Package: libsdl2 Severity: wishlist Hi, please update the package in unstable to 2.0.3, or the (AFAIK) soon to be released 2.0.4. I have some software here that requires 2.0.3 or newer unfortunately.
I seem to remember that 2.0.3 didn't introduce any interesting changes, other than fixes or support for other OSs (Windows or Mac, cannot remember), which is the reason why I never attempted to package that version. What's the feature that you need that requires 2.0.3? Or is it perhaps some VCS changes after 2.0.3? Since I didn't think that 2.0.3 were interesting I was hoping (and waiting for many months, or year+ now) that they release 2.0.4 at some point, so we can package a "known milestone", and so we don't have to cherry pick fixes that people request us from time to time. For doing this cherry-picking, in the past the Debian packages introduced ABI changes or behaviours that people depended upon, or wrong patches that later were reverted without us noticing for years... so I was trying to avoid this now. In any case, packaging 2.0.3 at this point (19 months after) doesn't look like a very good option to me. I don't know why upstream people are so reluctant to release 2.0.4 :-/ Cheers. -- Manuel A.
