I am going to pin this message.

There is software that may not work correctly with sdl2-compat, which is why this package has been moved to the AUR.

If you are having issues updating to sdl2-compat due to using an AUR helper, do the following: just use pacman lol.

I disagree, phonemic, unless you have a solution for packages such as mesen2-git that work with sdl2 but not with sdl2-compat.

This shouldn't exist and needs to be removed.

Hugest prank is, if you don’t take care then, install of fcitx5 will break Gnome keyboard management because go figure.

sdl2-compat deprecates sdl2 however because there's an aur package named "sdl2" with a newer version some aur helpers will try to install that as an "upgrade" to the currently installed sdl2 package. I have a feeling a few people will end up here because of that.

@jcerdan, your repos must be out of date. sdl2 is gone from extra and has been replaced by sdl2-compat, which is reliant on SDL3.

V1del commented on 2025-01-29 11:49 (UTC)

It's not anymore, as the repo version got replaced with sdl2-compat which is a reimplementation of the sdl2 API on top of the just released sdl3 (like sdl1-compat was to sdl2)

Hi, this package is in the extra repo. Why is it also here? Regards,
