Package: angband,libsdl2-compat
Control: found -1 angband/1:4.2.5+dfsg1-3
Severity: normal
Tags: forky sid
User: [email protected]
Usertags: regression setgid
Forwarded: https://github.com/libsdl-org/sdl2-compat/issues/564
sdl2-compat is a reimplementation of the SDL 2 API using SDL 3.
It can be tested by installing the libsdl2-compat-shim and
libsdl2-compat-dev packages from testing/unstable, or by installing the
libsdl2-2.0-0 and libsdl2-dev packages built by src:sdl2-compat in
experimental.
After discussion with SDL upstream, I'm looking into what needs to
happen for Debian (and indirectly Ubuntu) to replace "classic" SDL2
(src:libsdl2) with sdl2-compat, following in the footsteps of other
distros like Arch and Fedora that have already done this transition.
When using sdl2-compat, angband doesn't start, because angband is
setgid, SDL 3 uses GTK for "tray icon" support, and GTK specifically
doesn't support being run setuid/setgid:
>$ angband -msdl2
>
>(process:624673): Gtk-WARNING **: 18:12:37.294: This process is currently
>running setuid or setgid.
>This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper
>program instead. For further details, see:
>
> http://www.gtk.org/setuid.html
>
>Refusing to initialize GTK+.
A workaround is to depend on libsdl2-classic and run as:
SDL_DYNAMIC_API='/usr/$LIB/sdl2-classic/libSDL2-2.0.so.0' angband -msdl2
although I've confirmed that this still suffers from #1121870 (not a
regression, it seems that bug was already present with "classic" SDL2).
I've raised this with SDL upstream in
https://github.com/libsdl-org/sdl2-compat/issues/564 and will see what
they say.

excluding Emscripten-, FreeBSD-, iOS-, macOS-, Windows-specific
changes.
* d/libsdl3-doc: Install SDLMAIN_DECLSPEC(3).
If other SDLMAIN_-namespaced man pages are added in future, we'll
want to install those too, so use a wildcard.
* d/copyright: Update
* d/libsdl3-0.symbols: Update
* d/rules: Test image resources are now PNGs

The JACK audio backend is not currently enabled, dynamically or
otherwise.
.
libsdl3 (3.3~git20251006~f90c179+ds-1) experimental; urgency=medium
.
* New upstream snapshot, commit release-3.2.6-1409-gf90c179c5d
* d/control, d/rules: Enable fribidi dependency, for the new support for
bidirectional text in X11 dialogs
* d/rules: Switch on SDL_DEPS_SHARED.
For anything that can either be dlopen'd or a hard dependency,
setting this option forces it to be a hard dependency, so the only
way we can have any such library be dynamically loaded is to turn
this option off.
This turns libpipewire-0.3-0 and libsndio7.0 into weak dependencies.
- d/control: libsdl3-dev no longer needs libpipewire-0.3-dev on Linux
- d/control: libsdl3-dev no longer needs libsndio-dev
* Merge packaging changes from unstable
- Reformat packaging files using debputy
.
libsdl3 (3.3~git20251002~a864dca+ds-1) experimental; urgency=medium
.
* New upstream snapshot, commit release-3.2.6-1356-ga864dcac25
* d/rules: Include SDL- prefix in SDL_REVISION.
This allows it to be retrieved from the binary with strings(1)
and grep(1).
* Revert "d/libsdl3-0.symbols: Mark Linux symbols as such".
It was correct at the time it was added, but in the latest snapshots
the platform-specific symbols exist as ABI on all platforms: they
just don't do anything on platforms where they aren't relevant.
* d/copyright: Update list of excluded files
* d/libsdl3-0.symbols: Update.
Note that there is an ABI break since the previous snapshot:
SDL_SetRenderGPUState() is now named SDL_SetGPURenderState().
This only affects development snapshots and experimental, so the SONAME
has not been changed.
* Update regeneration of shader files, replacing d/build-shaders.sh with
a script implementing a small subset of shadercross' interface
.
libsdl3 (3.3~git20250930~fd4c2f8+ds-1) experimental; urgency=medium
.
* New upstream snapshot, commit release-3.2.6-1342-gfd4c2f8cfd
* d/build-shaders.sh: Update naming scheme for test shaders
* d/libsdl3-0.symbols: Update
* d/control, d/rules: Build using ninja-build
* d/rules: Do the build in a directory covered by upstream's .gitignore
* d/control: Remove Rules-Requires-Root, no longer needed since Debian 13
* Reformat packaging files using debputy
.

* New upstream snapshot, commit release-3.2.6-1294-ged2cdceb66

* d/watch.devel, d/upstream/signing-key.asc: Check signatures before
repacking.

Add patch to extend the timeout of testatomic on Hurd.
Based on discussion with Pino Toscano on sdl-team/libsdl3!3.
