Do we want to keep legacy support for SDL 1.x or just completely upgrade our dependency?

Just completely upgrade. SDL 2 is available in Ubuntu Saucy for sure, which also means it will be in the next LTS that will be released soon. Debian currently has it in testing, so the next Debian release will have SDL2 as well. Other distributions with a shorter support cycle will have it anyway, and for the RHEL derivatives I already explained that I don’t consider them to be our target user group.

We should try to keep our code small and maintainable, and supporting all the library versions out there doesn’t do a good job on this. People who ultimatively want the latest available upstream software are usually using distros with short support cycles (or Arch Linux ;-)), and the others just have to / want to wait. This seems fine to me.

For SMC 2.0.0 I think we should not yet upgrade to SDL2, because it is just a bit too new right now. We can aim for this for SMC 3.0.0, so SMC will compile fine on the upcoming Ubuntu LTS.

Vale,
Quintus

SFML is now intended as the replacement for SDL. This task is now superceded by #105
