Yes, the concerns I expressed in my first message were quite incorrect, as was explained to me calmly less than ten hours after I posted the message. The arguments with Anthony about it are primarily focused around his conclusion from my inital message that the packages will break things. Had I been less (incorrectly) paranoid from the start, there would have been no problem at all. OTOH, the amount of testing that is going into these packages to satisfy Anthony that they do not in fact break anything will probably make this the smoothest update these packages have ever had. SDL is regarded by just most other archs as a total clusterfuck. These packages are going to change that if I have my way. I'm still concerned about #79549 for Sparc. It's an old bug, but there is no indication that the 1.2.2 packages in Debian now fix it, let alone my new ones. I've asked debian-sparc to test them out and let me know, but from what I understand the Sparc guys currently have much bigger worries than whether a few games still segfault or not, so it may be a couple days before someone can (hopefully) tell me that the bug is fixed and that my new packages work flawlessly. ;) Other than that, I'm on target for my original plan to upload these things Friday. -- Joseph Carter <knghtbrd@bluecherry.net> Do not write in this space <Espy> we need to split main into"core" and "wtf-uses-this"
