* Package name : libsdl1.2-compat Version : 0.0~git Upstream Author : Ryan C. Gordon <iccu...@icculus.org> * URL : https://github.com/libsdl-org/sdl12-compat * License : zlib/libpng Programming Lang: C Description : SDL 1.2 binary compatibility library wrapping SDL 2.0 This code is a compatibility layer; it provides a binary-compatible API for programs written against SDL 1.2, but it uses SDL 2.0 behind the scenes. If you are writing new code, please target SDL 2.0 directly and do not use this layer. I've recently retried switching to Wayland and I think I'm sticking with it. But while checking for toolkits support, noticed that SDL 1.2 does not have native Wayland support, but SDL 2.0 does. Unfortunately we have quite many packages still using SDL 1.2, and while I think I'll start porting them one by one (when time permits), it still would be nice to get this wrapper packaged so that we can get immediate results and can stop depending on Xwayland for most of the packages in Debian. Thanks, Guillem
