Hi,
these patches update sdl2 to the latest release and enable udev support.Without udev I experienced freezes every few seconds in certain games(for instance hedgewars and supertux) as SDL searched through /dev/inputfor joysticks.
Since libudev is dlopened, I add it to rpath in make-flags. During buildthis overrides LDFLAGS from the base package’s configure-flags, whichadd mesa to rpath. AFAICT this is OK as sdl2 already includes mesa bylinking libgbm.
(Perhaps we could move LDFLAGS to make-flags in the base package, andmake the override explicit in the derived package? Or have sdl2 find andmodify the LDFLAGS entry from the base configure-flags, but that seemsmore trouble than it’s worth.)
I was able to rebuild all dependent packages with no (new) failures. Iran several games and everything appears OK, but I don’t have a joystickor gamepad to try.
There have been some issues in the past with SDL not finding (correct)libraries¹, so it would be good to test this on a foreign Guix install.As for the version bump, the changelog² doesn’t mention any significantchanges except for hidapi support, which is disabled by default.
Thanks!Timotej

Without udev SDL falls back on custom detection code, which blocks every threeseconds while checking for new devices.

Thank you for the excellent research, bugfix, and patches.
I have applied both and hope that it will fix a longstanding problemwith SuperTuxKart and multiple gamepads that I will try out hopefullythis weekend.
