SDL2 Conan Recipes

SDL Development
1

I try to import SDL2 into a project of mine using conan.
I have some experience with depending on the source and on nuget packages.
Ever since I switched to Linux I am working with conan to get my packages.

Searching for SDL2 packages I can find these packages:
Remote ‘bincrafters’:
sdl2/2.0.7@bincrafters/testing
sdl2/2.0.8@bincrafters/stable
sdl2/2.0.8@bincrafters/testing
sdl2/2.0.9@bincrafters/stable
sdl2/2.0.10@bincrafters/stable
sdl2/2.0.12@bincrafters/stable
sdl2/2.0.14@bincrafters/stable
sdl2_image/2.0.3@bincrafters/stable
sdl2_image/2.0.4@bincrafters/stable
sdl2_image/2.0.5@bincrafters/stable
sdl2_mixer/2.0.4@bincrafters/stable
sdl2_ttf/2.0.14@bincrafters/stable
sdl2_ttf/2.0.15@bincrafters/stable

The problem with those is that they do not really work, especially sdl2_ttf.
I tried to get in touch with bincrafters via github and did not get anywhere.

Is there anyone here who had a simmilar experience?
Is there an interest in the SDL2 community to create and maintain conan recipes?
Is that something that I could start contributing to SDL2?

The bincrafters community recipes turned out to be ok.
The artifact deployment had an issue.
Triggering the right pipeline regenerated the artifacts to a functional state.

If this happens again it is worthwhile to check out the package locally and follow the package source.
If the package source is marked as deprecated it is time to get in touch with the bincrafters community.
Either directly through github or through the conan channel in the cpp slack workspace.
