New Patch for SDL 2.0 Mercurial Tip

libsdl1.2-man-page-typos.diff

Hello,

Catched by Debian automatic tools, they report the following [minor] typos.  It's for 1.2.15, but I guess that all versions apply.

I attach a patch for convenience, if you decide to apply it.

Cheers.

New Patch for SDL 2.0 Mercurial Tip

This bug is really old and the patch should be applied or this bug marked as rejected.

Anyway, the attached patch fixes the typos that were reported here in the Mercurial tip. Note that there's a lot of junk in that patch due to changes by the build system onto generated files that the version control system tracks. I recommend that these generated files won't be kept under version control.

Hello, and sorry if you're getting several copies of this message by email, since we are closing many bugs at once here.

We have decided to mark all SDL 1.2-related bugs as RESOLVED ENDOFLIFE, as we don't intend to work on SDL 1.2 any further, but didn't want to mark a large quantity of bugs as RESOLVED WONTFIX, to clearly show what was left unattended to and make it easily searchable.

Our current focus is on SDL 2.0.

If you are still having problems with an ENDOFLIFE bug, your absolute best option is to move your program to SDL2, as it will likely fix the problem by default, and give you access to modern platforms and tons of super-cool new features.

Failing that, we _will_ accept small patches to fix these issues, and put them in revision control, although we do not intend to do any further official 1.2 releases.

Failing that, please feel free to contact me directly by email (icculus@icculus.org) and we'll try to find some way to help you out of your situation.

Thank you,
--ryan.

There's a patch in a previous comment for SDL-2.0-Mercurial trunk, so this problem doesn't apply only to SDL-1.2.x. I've set the version appropriately and reopened this bug.

Hi!

Please look into fixing the problem here / applying the patch. It's been many months.

Regards,

The patch for SDL 2.0 should fix two typos (the remaining changes are unrelated) but both typos seem to have already been fixed. [1][2]
