[opensuse-buildservice] SDL on older SUSE Releases
Hi, I'm just in process of updating a package (blobAndConquer) to the latest version (0.8). Up to now, it was available for SuSE back to Version 9.3. The new version now uses the function SDL_GL_SWAP_CONTROL, which was only introduced in SDL 1.2.10 SuSE 9.3 and 10.0 are using SDL 1.2.8 Is it now recommended to a) stop building RPMs for these 'old' suse releases b) add an SDL update to the repository games:action ? Honestly, I for myself don't like B to much, as this might have some other effects on other packages (but indeed there should be none, as 1.2.11 is mainly only bugfixes over 1.2.8, no API/ABI changes AFAIK). And a has the disadvantage that many users just would loose another new product. Looking forward to hear / read your opinions.

d) is the feature really required by the game, or is it just a performance tweak? Will the game still run if you patch out setting this particular flag on older systems? I'm not an OpenGL / SDL guy, so sorry if I'm not getting something obvious -- I only did some googling :-) Michal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
