This package has a Depends or Build-Depends on SDL version 1.2, which
is unmaintained upstream.

If possible, please port this package to SDL 2 and close this bug. There
is a migration guide at <https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL2/MigrationGuide>,
and examples of successful ports from SDL 1.2 to SDL 2 can be found in
the commit history of packages like darkplaces and ioquake3.

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.

It is *not* necessary to change dependencies from libsdl1.2debian to
libsdl1.2-compat-shim, or from libsdl1.2-dev to libsdl1.2-compat-dev.
My intention is to make a future version of sdl12-compat take over
the old package names, to minimize the changes that are required in
dependent packages.

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.

Note that using libsdl1.2-compat and LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not sufficient if
the package contains programs that are setgid games. See
<https://github.com/libsdl-org/sdl12-compat/blob/main/HOW_TO_TEST_GAMES.md>
for more information.

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,

Hey,

In this case I still require the addons libsdl-image1.2-dev and
libsdl-mixer1.2-dev, without criticalmass does not work / build. What to
do here? The package is upstream dead.

In the short term, please test with libsdl1.2-compat-{shim,dev} and
report any regressions as sdl12-compat bugs, then leave this bug open,
without any changes to the package.

Please *do not* change the dependencies or Build-Depends to point
to sdl12-compat. My plan is that sdl12-compat will take over the
libsdl1.2debian and libsdl1.2-dev package names when we're ready for that
change[1], leaving libsdl1.2-compat-{shim,dev} as transitional packages
which will be removed after trixie.

The long term solution is to port this package to use SDL 2 without a
compatibility layer, which will probably include these replacements:

* libsdl1.2-dev -> libsdl2-dev
* libsdl-image1.2-dev -> libsdl2-image-dev
* libsdl-mixer1.2-dev -> libsdl2-mixer-dev

If the package is dead upstream then that might imply becoming its new
upstream developer, like Fabian Greffrath has recently done for rott
and wolf4sdl.

The problem is without the mixer and image extension it does not build
at all or should I mix the dependencies (using mixer and image as before
and just switch main sdl to the compat one?)

It is fine to combine the original libsdl-image1.2 and libsdl-mixer1.2
with sdl12-compat.

Please don't close these bugs unless the package has been ported to use
SDL 2 "natively", as was done in (for example) wolf4sdl.

In the original bug report, I wrote:
...

If you change the (build-)dependency to the -compat- packages, then you
will likely need to change it back after the migration to sdl12-compat
has finished, because they'll become transitional packages.

This has now happened. Could you update the criticalmass and
xime-lib-1.2 Build-Depends from libsdl1.2-compat-dev to libsdl1.2-dev
? But keep this bug open please.

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha
