Perhaps what is not clear is that there is no old version. The SDL2 family of libraries is not a new version of the SDL family of libraries so much as a new set of incompatible libraries serving the same purpose, from the same people. There is no common code base and the libraries are one hundred percent parallel-installable. You can't use the old changelog, there isn't one. I for one appreciate seeing an ITP for the long-anticipated libsdl2 packages, so at least I know someone is intending to package them. It may not be Policy to require closing a bug when putting a package on the NEW queue, but it's established documented practice. After all, isn't that one of the purposes of filing a bug against WNPP? -- Stephen M. Webb <stephen.webb@bregmasoft.ca>
