Hi all, Please CC me when answering this mail, thank you.
I have been trying for sometime now to understand why libsdl2-mixer isn't the default. I tried various things to find about it. For e.g. the multimedia mailing lists [1] but as it tracks not just sdl2 but various other multimedia packages so that didn't work. I tried transitions [2] but even in that big list of planned transitions it isn't mentioned anywhere. I then tried the wiki but there is no page for either SDL or libsdl or anything but only an old document from 2012 [3] if the wiki is to be believed, maybe that needs to go a massive change as well. The only thing which made any sense was this bug which I tracked from the pkg-sdl-maintainers list [4] . I also tried to use two methods to see which all packages depend upon libsdl-mixer1.2 to see which will give me the results. The first one I tried was - $ aptitude why libsdl-mixer1.2 This gave so many packages I didn't know what to make of it. Even apt-rdepends -b libsdl-mixer-1.2 gives so many options seems it will be a long haul to do anything like that :( 1. https://lists.debian.org/debian-multimedia/2019/ 2. https://release.debian.org/transitions/ 3. https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianSdlGroup 4. https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/pkg-sdl-maintainers/ -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com E493 D466 6D67 59F5 1FD0 930F 870E 9A5B 5869 609C
