Details

The sdl2 package currently builds against fcitx, which is currently in maintenance mode. I was able to build against fcitx5.

From what I understand, building it against fcitx5 still maintains compatibility with both versions: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/3653

sdl2 2.0.20-1
This task depends upon

I'm curious about this related issue: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/5124. I therefore don't quite understand what the current state is here.

I went ahead and built against fcitx5. I looked into it more and it seems safe as it's backwards compatible.
