Dear Package maintainers and hackers.
Below package(s) in openSUSE:Factory have had problems for at least 4 weeks. We tried to send out notifications to the configured bugowner/maintainers of the package(s), but so far no fix has been submitted. This probably means that the maintainer/bugowner did not yet find the time to look into the matter and he/she would certainly appreciate help to get this sorted.
- perl-SDL: Fails to build - python-aws-xray-sdk: Fails to build - xrootd: Fails to build
Unless somebody is stepping up and submitting fixes, the listed package(s) are going to be removed from openSUSE:Factory.
Kind regards, DimStar / Dominique Leuenberger dimstar@opensuse.org

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 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.
From the docs: --8<--- NAME:
SDL - Simple DirectMedia Layer for Perl
DESCRIPTION
SDL_perl is a package of Perl modules that provide both functional and object oriented interfaces to the Simple DirectMedia Layer for Perl 5. This package takes some liberties with the SDL API, and attempts to adhere to the spirit of both the SDL and Perl. This document describes the low-level functional SDL Perl API. For the object oriented programming interface please see the documentation provided on a per-class basis. -->8---

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.

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
