Just a small update on what's going on. I have given updates to any possible licensing issues at [1]. In short, I fixed numerous possible licensing issues myself upstream. The libraries libXBMS and UnrarXLib are the only issues that currently exist which are still an issue with licensing. At least for Debian, XBMC won't include those two libraries.
Also, I'm not going to worry about including the entire source tree of XBMC for Debian packages. I'll just be including the minimum to build the Debian packages. There is the issue of needing to use system libraries instead of internal libraries whenever possible. This is especially true for XBMC's use of Python and FFMpeg libraries. Because XBMC depends on functionality where libc function calls are overridden (functions like fopen(), fdopen(), etc.), XBMC now needs to override libc function calls inside a system library as well. This is especially true for the two mentioned libraries above. See [2] for more info. Aside from that, I don't see any other issue with XBMC being suitable for Debian. 1. http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/7983 2. http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/8658 -- Regards, Andres Mejia -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
