Description:

First, thanks for packaging the new release (2.0.2) of libsdl into Arch so quickly following its upstream release!

As of libsdl version 2.0.2, a wayland backend is supported, and can be enabled using a "--enable-video-wayland" switch to the configure. This is disabled by default (probably because it's considered experimental), as documented in the libsdl release announcement at http://forums.libsdl.org/viewtopic.php?t=10088 .

Since wayland is generally installed into a default Arch build (as noted here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wayland#Installation), this wouldn't add much in real terms in way of dependencies.

Many thanks!

Ryan Gordon says it should be safe to enable it.
