SDL_mixer 2.0.0 Release Candidate 2

SDL Development
1

This update has a pretty big change, switching MOD support from the LGPL
libmikmod to the public domain libmodplug.
This allows us to include MOD playback support by default on iOS and
Android. Please try it out, and make sure everything still works!

Please report any issues (and fixes!) on bugzilla:
http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/

Cheers!

Will there also be a smpeg2 release? Otherwise smpeg2 support is pretty
useless for packagers.

smpeg2 is included in the SDL_mixer source. You’re welcome to take that
and create packages from it.

I don’t want to do an official release, because I would recommend using VP8
and Vorbis for future work.On Mon, Jun 10, 2013 at 12:34 AM, Marcus von Appen wrote:

I’m in agreement with this packager. We need an smpeg2 package. It doesn’t make sense to fetch the entire SDL2_mixer distfile to build smpeg2, which is an optional dependency of SDL2_mixer. It would be better to split this into a separate, versioned packaged in the interim until it is obsoleted/deprecated entirely. Another way to look at it is if you recommend using VP8 and Vorbis instead, just rip out the smpeg2 support. What would be the point of keeping it if upstream (you in this case) have no interest in supporting it in the future?> On Mon, Jun 10, 2013 at 12:34 AM, Marcus von Appen <mva at sysfault.org (mva at sysfault.org)> wrote:

I imagine there are still lots of developers still wanting to make use
of the smpeg2 support.

If you want an upstream source you should pull from icculus.org:
https://icculus.org/smpeg/
svn co svn://svn.icculus.org/smpeg/trunk smpeg*
*
Having it in SDL_mixer is just a convenience for end users who want to
build it themselves, or have the source code for the version that’s
precompiled for Windows and Mac platforms.

I’m not building a full release because I don’t have time to create
projects for all the different IDEs and so forth, but you’re welcome to
release a package for your platform if you want.

Cheers!

“Check out the repository” is not a solution for packagers. There’s no versioning, no ChangeLog, and the checksums of each checked out “version” would change every time a commit is made. It’s not convenient to have it bundled with SDL2_mixer as 1) the SDL2_mixer is 10x larger; and, 2) smpeg2 is an optional dependency of that package, which doesn’t make a lot of sense to bundle it in that case.

I’m not interested in the projects for all the IDEs, but an smpeg2-2.0.0.tar.gz distfile that one could use to build from source, like all the other SDL2* packages. We’re not interested in creating our own distfile just to build from source, as no one would have any reason to trust it as genuine from upstream (you). I can’t speak for what the other packager wanted, however.

Your wish has been granted!

This has been tagged as an official release in the SVN repository.

Thanks a lot! That makes it much easier for people to migrate and for
packagers to offer support :-).
