Description:
Recently the SDL2 package was replaced with sdl2-compat a compatibility layer for sdl3. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be fully compatible or fully functional yet. When compile and run any of my SDL2 projects they do run but give many false or real memory leaks. This issue has a bug report on sdl2-compat's github page here. https://github.com/libsdl-org/sdl2-compat/issues/255. There are also quite a few other people having different issues. It is exciting to have access to SDL3 now. But is it possible to get the actual SDL2 package back while or until sdl2-compat is fully compatible and working as expected. Is it possible to have a choice of either package? In my bug report linked above there is a simple open close window project and a Makefile to reproduce the memory leaks. This issue doesn't seem to be just sdl2-compat but it's actually an issue with SDL3 also. But it would be good to have fully functioning SDL2 again.
Thank you. ProgrammingRainbow
