Bug#1038463: cegui-mk2: Is this library still useful to have in Debian?

[Frank Loeffler]

Hi,

just to add a small bit of information:

A game that still uses the library, although not being shipped with 
Debian (while in principle, it could), is "The Secret Chronicles of Dr. 
M." (https://secretchronicles.org/en/).

On that note: the current version in Debian is called 
"0.8.7+git20220615-3". I did assume this is the git version of the 
master branch on date 20220615 of the main repo 
https://github.com/cegui/cegui/. However, that cannot be, as changes 
made in that repo are not present in the Debian package. One example is 
Editbox.cpp: compare that file in

https://github.com/cegui/cegui/tree/master/cegui/src/widgets (2 years 
old)

to the one here:

https://salsa.debian.org/games-team/cegui-mk2/-/tree/master/cegui/src/widgets?ref_type=heads 
(8 years old)

That file is special only insofar as TSC currently faces the problem 
that the version of cegui in Debian is too old to be used with a 
"current" build against cegui, see 
https://github.com/Secretchronicles/TSC/issues/708.
