Description David Demelier 2013-05-26 22:10:01 UTC 
SFML is a multimedia library. Version 2.0 has been released a few weeks ago. 

Everything should work as expected, however only the Joystick code is disabled because it only relies on Linux code and thus does not work on FreeBSD. I didn't have the time to port that so I just disabled it until I can do some work on it.

I'll take it.

Is the compatibility broken against 1.6? If not, devel/sfml should be 
updated instead.

Turns out it's not. Upstream has merged FreeBSD compatibility patches so 
git master of sfml 2.x compiles fine. The plan is to copy sfml to sfml1 
to provide compatibility for ports that do not work with sfml 2.x 
(games/motogt) with some hacks added to make it coexist with sfml 2.x, 
while sfml port would be updated to 2.x (probably git master if newer 
version is not released anytime soon). Other sfml-using ports 
(emulators/dolphin-emu and emulators/visualboyadvance-m) seem to work 
fine with sfml 2.x.

devel/sfml was updated to 2.1
