This package has a Depends or Build-Depends on SDL version 1.2, which
is unmaintained upstream.
If possible, please port this package to SDL 2 and close this bug. There
is a migration guide at <https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL2/MigrationGuide>,
and examples of successful ports from SDL 1.2 to SDL 2 can be found in
the commit history of packages like darkplaces and ioquake3.
If it is not possible to port to SDL 2, please test the package with
libsdl1.2-compat-shim (preferably version 1.2.64 or later), and leave
this bug open to track the package as still using SDL 1.2 APIs.
libsdl1.2-compat-shim is a compatibility layer that provides the SDL 1.2
API/ABI by using SDL 2: it has already replaced the "classic" SDL 1.2
library in some other distributions like Fedora and Arch, and my intention
is to do the same in Debian during the trixie release cycle.
Please don't change dependencies from libsdl1.2debian to
libsdl1.2-compat-shim, or from libsdl1.2-dev to libsdl1.2-compat-dev.
The -compat packages have Provides for the old package names, and my
intention is to make a future version of sdl12-compat take over the old
package names, to minimize the changes that are required in dependent
packages.
The interesting scenarios to test with libsdl1.2-compat-shim are:
1. Install libsdl1.2-compat-shim and run the program in an X11 environment,
such as "GNOME on Xorg" or XFCE.
($XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/wayland-* should not exist)
2. Install libsdl1.2-compat-shim and run the program in a Wayland
environment such as GNOME's default mode, using Xwayland.
($XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/wayland-* should exist)
3. Install libsdl1.2-compat-shim and run the program in a Wayland
environment, but this time with environment variable
SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland so that it uses the native Wayland interface
(this is not currently the default for SDL 2).
4. Install libsdl1.2-compat-dev and recompile the package.
Note that using libsdl1.2-compat and LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not sufficient if
the package contains programs that are setgid games. See
<https://github.com/libsdl-org/sdl12-compat/blob/main/HOW_TO_TEST_GAMES.md>
for more information.
If any of those fail, please report it as a bug in the
libsdl1.2-compat-shim or libsdl1.2-compat-dev package as appropriate,
with "affects" pointing to the program that is affected.
Thanks,
smcv

Closes: 1038526
Changes:
pachi (1:1.0-17) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Port the game from SDL 1.2 to SDL 2; closes: #1038526. Build against
libsdl2-dev and libsdl2-mixer-dev instead of libsdl-mixer1.2-dev, and
locate them via pkgconf. See debian/patches/sdl2-migration.diff.
* Render each game frame off-screen and present it once instead of
presenting every partial update; removes the player-sprite flicker
(most visible in full screen) caused by the renderer-based port.
* Redraw the post-death respawn animation every frame so the player pours in
as
a vertically stretched figure and rebuilds from the feet up (the renderer
presents whole frames, so the SDL 1.2 per-step erase was discarding the
build-up); bridge the lowest falling row onto the settled pixels so no gap
shows between the falling column and the figure.
* Drive main-menu actions from discrete key-press events instead of polled
key state: the state-based checks re-fired on the window events that
SDL_SetWindowFullscreen() generates while a key was held, so the
full-screen toggle switched an unpredictable number of times. One key
press is now exactly one action, tracked with an own armed flag rather than
SDL's auto-repeat flag, which a key pressed during the black intro screen
could leave stuck (swallowed KEYUP) so the menu ignored all later presses.
* While porting, fix two latent upstream bugs: an invalid pixel mask passed
to SDL_CreateRGBSurface() in the intro (NULL surface under SDL 2), and the
window icon surface that was used unchecked and never freed.
* Store the high-score file as a flat /var/games/pachi.scores (compiled-in
SCOREDIR is the directory /var/games, the package name being part of the
file name) and let dh-cruft register and purge it (Build-Depends on
dh-sequence-cruft, debian/pachi.purge);
migrate existing scores from the previous /var/games/pachi/data/ and
/var/lib/games/ layouts in pachi.postinst.
* Reorganise debian/patches into three patches: source-fixes.diff (assorted
upstream build/runtime fixes plus the C++ string constification),
scorefile.diff (all high-score file handling, including the install-time
permission change formerly carried in Makefile.am.diff) and
sdl2-migration.diff.
* Mark pachi-data as Multi-Arch: foreign (architecture-independent data).
