Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : ruby-sdl2 Version : 0.3.6 Upstream Contact: Ippei Obayashi <o...@kmc.gr.jp> * URL : https://github.com/ohai/ruby-sdl2 * License : LGPL v3 Programming Lang: Ruby Description : SDL2 bindings for Ruby
Ruby/SDL2 is an extension library to use SDL 2.x (Simple DirectMedia Layer). This library enables controlling audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL, and 2D video using opengl or Direct3D. Ruby/SDL2 is mostly used for games and visual demos. Including this package in Debian repositories would allow games still relying on the obsolete SDL 1.2 bindings to be updated to target these new bindings, cf. https://bugs.debian.org/1038074 I have no real experience with Ruby gems packaging, but if someone volunteers to guide me through the process I am willing to handle the initial packaging. Please answer to this bug report if you are willing to help, so I know I can convert it into an ITP. If I am to handle the initial packaging (and probably the future maintenance), it would most probably be under the umbrella of the Ruby team.
