sdl2-compat deprecates sdl2 however because there's an aur package named "sdl2" with a newer version some aur helpers will try to install that as an "upgrade" to the currently installed sdl2 package. I have a feeling a few people will end up here because of that.

@jcerdan, your repos must be out of date. sdl2 is gone from extra and has been replaced by sdl2-compat, which is reliant on SDL3.

It's not anymore, as the repo version got replaced with sdl2-compat which is a reimplementation of the sdl2 API on top of the just released sdl3 (like sdl1-compat was to sdl2)

Hi, this package is in the extra repo. Why is it also here? Regards,
