Sourcing SDL with wget and modifying with patch is not flexible #3

Open Bzomak opened 11 months ago

Bzomak commented 11 months ago

Using wget, tar and patch require prior knowledge of the specific SDL version being used for the folder directory name/path.

Using a patch is harder to browse the active code. For consistency a GitHub repository is preferred.

Suggestion: until we can migrate to the main SDL repos, upload our patches to our own forked SDL repo.

This is https://github.com/Bzomak/oolite-msys2/labels/blocked by Milestone 1 - Functional Build.

There isn't any point testing alternative versions of SDL until we can prove that the current one works correctly.

If https://sourceforge.net/ is down then wget will fail. As the whole build project relies on GitHub, moving to a GitHub repository would be a logical step.
