- perl-SDL: Fails to build
As I understood from a fellow coder, SDL fails because Alien::SDL does not install because of missing deps, and checksum issues on the files it downloads.
Archive::Extract and Text::Patch were missing and had to be installed by hand to get the test running, after which the test failed with
###WARN## checksum for file download/jpegsrc.v8b.tar.gz is 34e86575444c59bef6c4c65e14e7188defbc547a but we expect 15dc1939ea1a5b9d09baea11cceb13ca59e4f9df
I wonder what it wants to download from where: OBS workers have no internet access, so that it gets ANY file is more than surprising. That sounds like a test that should be disabled.
I never used SDL, and maybe SDL is not supported on modern Linux. Its last update was May 2018. Last update for Alien::SDL (building, finding and using SDL binaries) was February 2015.
We have a single consumer of that package: frozen-bubble If no fix is possible, it might be an option to drop those two packages. Or the package gets at least in a shape good enough for Frozen Bubble (I doubt there is much other stuff out there depending on Perl AND SDL at the same time :)) Cheers, Dominique
