remove xbmc from Debian testing/unstable?
Hi, Now that kodi is in Debian, should xbmc get removed? If you agree, please file a removal bug report: https://wiki.debian.org/ftpmaster_Removals If I don't hear back in 2 weeks I will file one. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

Xbmc packages are empty now helping the migration to kodi. I think they should be released with stretch.

The next upload to experimental will contain the fix. Thanks for the hints.

It seems it is too much hassle to maintain the xbmc packages generated from kodi source, see #842141. I could append the current version to the xbmc package versions, but that would just confuse users. If you have any good idea please share it, otherwise I'm revert to provide the transitional packages from xbmc.

It is ugly and confusing for many users. The renaming of XBMC to Kodi is a good opportunity for getting rid of it. ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

Using 2:17.x version for kodi and providing the transitional packages with this version would solve the problem, but I don't like that solution. > * Move the xbmc transitional packages back to xbmc This will result nicer versions for Stretch and later thus I plan implementing that.

This is what I'm about to upload to do the mplayer2 -> mpv transition: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-multimedia/mpv.git/commit/?id=1ef5c58015019a414bd89c98b1de215c3fcbcca5 That allows me to not epoch the whole of mpv.

For the record somehow the 2: epoch sneaked in for kodi and I had to adopt it everywhere in the package. :-\ Cheers, Balint ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

Debhelper applied the epoch to the _union_ of arch dependent packages and 'xbmc-bin' instead of the intersection which is probably what you expected it to do.
