This package depends on ruby-sdl, which is a language binding for SDL 1.2.
SDL 1.2 has been superseded by SDL 2 and is unmaintained upstream.

If possible, please port this package to SDL 2.

If it is not possible to port to SDL 2, please test the package with
libsdl1.2-compat-shim (preferably version 1.2.64 or later), and leave
this bug open to track the package as still using SDL 1.2 APIs.

libsdl1.2-compat-shim is a compatibility layer that provides the SDL 1.2
API/ABI by using SDL 2: it has already replaced the "classic" SDL 1.2
library in some other distributions like Fedora and Arch, and my intention
is to do the same in Debian during the trixie release cycle.

The interesting scenarios to test with libsdl1.2-compat-shim are:

1. Install libsdl1.2-compat-shim and run the program in an X11 environment,
   such as "GNOME on Xorg" or XFCE.
   ($XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/wayland-* should not exist)
2. Install libsdl1.2-compat-shim and run the program in a Wayland
   environment such as GNOME's default mode, using Xwayland.
   ($XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/wayland-* should exist)
3. Install libsdl1.2-compat-shim and run the program in a Wayland
   environment, but this time with environment variable
   SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland so that it uses the native Wayland interface
   (this is not currently the default for SDL 2).
4. Install libsdl1.2-compat-dev and recompile the package.

If any of those fail, please report it as a bug in the
libsdl1.2-compat-shim or libsdl1.2-compat-dev package as appropriate,
with "affects" pointing to the program that is affected.

Thanks,
    smcv

According to upstream, version 1.5.1 support SDL 2.  It is not yet
packaged for Debian.  I decided first to upload the 1.5.0.0 version
with less new features to get this updated version available in the
archive.

I tried to update to version 1.5.1, but am unsure how to test if it is
using SDL 1.2 or 2.  I fail to find a package ruby-sdl2 in Debian, which
seem to be the key dependency controlling which version of SDL is used.

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
magicmaze, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.

A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is
attached.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 1038073@bugs.debian.org,
and the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.

I no longer believe this is solved.  I probably messed up the packaging.
In any case, from #debian-games today:


<smcv> pere: magicmaze Depends on ruby-sdl which Depends on
       libsdl1.2debian, so no it is not solved

<smcv> pere: (I can tell that from packages.debian.org, no need to
       actually install it or know anything about Ruby)

<smcv> pere: please reopen the bug, and if the way to make it use SDL2
       is via ruby-sdl2, block it by a RFP (or ITP) for ruby-sdl2

<smcv> pere: fyi the most-correct way to tell "does it use SDL 1?" would
       be to read /proc/$pid/maps and if you see libSDL-1.2.so.* then
       yes it does

<smcv> pere: since bookworm, our libSDL-1.2.so.0 is actually a wrapper
       around SDL2, but the SDL 1.2 API has plenty of known problems, so
       I still consider it to be a (non-RC!) bug if games need to use
       that wrapper

<pere> smcv: aha. I guess upstream need some feedback, then. :)

<smcv> pere: sorry, *since trixie

<vv221> smcv, can we plan on the SDL 1 → 2 wrapper to stay around
        ~indefinitely? For some non-free games that are never going to
        be updated again, it is really useful.

<vv221> (side note, it’s really nice that we can chain the SDL 1 → 2 → 3
        wrappers)

<smcv> pere: if upstream has implemented runtime switching between
       ruby-sdl for SDL 1.2 and ruby-sdl2 for SDL 2, then it's a
       downstream bug: someone needs to package ruby-sdl2, and then make
       magicmaze use that instead of ruby-sdl

<smcv> pere: or if upstream unconditionally uses ruby-sdl and therefore
       SDL 1.2, it's an upstream bug

<smcv> pere: I don't know which

<pere> it seemed to implement an alternative drawing mechanism, but I do
       not know any details.  check the code. :) My project for the
       package was to migrate its packagint to git, which is complete.

<smcv> vv221: I don't intend to remove sdl12-compat any time soon, but I
       *do* want to start removing the SDL 1.2
       mixer/image/net/... libraries, which are totally unmaintained and
       sometimes security-sensitive

<vv221> OK, this might cause problems for said games. Could wrappers for
        some of these be done, or is it a lost cause?

<smcv> pere: oh if you're just doing QA work on it, then you can leave
       that analysis to whoever eventually adopts it (if they exist),
       but please do reopen the bug

<vv221> I don’t have the skills to write such wrappers myself yet, but
        since they would be required for my favourite non-free game I
        would be willing to learn and give it a try.

<pere> I'll cut-n-paste this dialog into the bts. :)

There is some input on the issue in
