Subject: xbmc: please package kodi and update the package

Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2015 04:34:02 +0530

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: xbmc
Version: 2:13.2+dfsg1-4
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,
The upstream have renamed it to 'kodi'. See 
http://kodi.tv/introducing-kodi-14/ and development is at 
https://github.com/xbmc/ . It does tell the way how to do the packaging 
as well at 
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/tools/Linux/packaging/README.debian 
.

Can somebody share why xbmc hasn't been updated yet ? Lack of time or 
something more serious ?

Kodi is already packaged [1] and has been waiting in the NEW queue
for more than 3 months [2].

Meanwhile you can build it from git [3], or use Bálint's repository [4].

Best regards,
Andreas
