Oh, I didn't know that you had gone ahead already, sorry.

I started with -net Sat and it would be ready to upload but libsdl2
had not been built on all arches and was not available in unstable
from my local mirror, so I left it at that.  I will work and upload
those three (-{net,ttf,mixer}) in the next few days.

I'm fine, I think that you were the last one who had worked on them anyway.

Good, thanks.

About -image, Felix was the one working on that one, I don't know if I
ever did anything important with it.  If he doesn't reply in a couple
of days I guess that you can go ahead.

I had planned to do something with smpeg since a while (years!) back,
but since there was no clear SDLv1 and SDLv2 with smpeg and since
release freezes got in the way, I left it behind.

I think that all the rest of modules (stretch, console, etc) are SDLv1
only, and some of them abandoned since 2003, but still used by some
software within Debian, so...


Cheers.
