Is it a bugfix-only release?

Yes, only bugfixes.

Hi.

Just a little ping to bump awareness to my request.

Hi.

Distrowatch just notified me that, an hour or so ago, Martijn released Kodi 17.5.

It's mainly bugfixes backported from the git master as far as I can tell.

Summary: Update request: Kodi 17.4 => Update request: Kodi 17.5

Created attachment 9748 [details]
Updated the CheckPerms patch for Kodi-17.5

It's based on the 17.3 patch, just updated to reflect the changes made in 17.5.

Oh, and please disable Patch2. I don't think it's relevant now.

kodi-add-mageia-systeminfo.patch

Hi.

I've had a lot of fun hacking Kodi.

This new patch makes way for a fun little addition.
In Settings-System Information it will now show, bottom right, "Build: Kodi 17.5-rel.mkrel".

Will attach an image that shows how it looks on my machine.

What more needs to be done is to add:

Patch6: kodi-add-mageia-systeminfo.patch

%(echo "-%{rel}%{?dist}" > %{_sourcedir}/kodi-version-info.patch)
after the %endif of Release

# We need to create VERSION with our data
Source5:        kodi-version-info.patch

%__cp %{SOURCE5}        VERSION
before %autopatch

The src.rpm can be downloaded from my ftp-server
ftp://kekepower.myftp.org/linux/kekePower/SRPMS/kodi-17.5-4.kekePower.mga6.src.rpm


Cheers,
Stig

Screenshot of Kodi Version info

This is one of the packages that bundles ffmpeg, so we should try to keep it up to date if possible.

As far as I can tell, our Kodi builds towards system ffmpeg and doesn't use the built-in one.

I think it's better to use the bundled ffmpeg instead of compiling against the system.
There may be performance issues, audio/video issues and what-not if compiled against the system.

--- from kodi.spec ---
# build with internal ffmpeg, disabled by default (--with internal_ffmpeg)
%bcond_with     internal_ffmpeg

%if %with       internal_ffmpeg
# issue with 11.0 internal ffmpeg, haven't bothered with patching as it is
# not used in the default build anyway
%define Werror_cflags %nil
%endif
---

If we enable the internal ffmpeg, we have to download it and add it as a new source since the build process will try to download it automatically if not present.

Hi all.

I've updated the spec file, added the kodi version of ffmpeg to the src.rpm file, built in mock without issues and uploaded the new file to my ftp server.

ftp://kekepower.myftp.org/linux/kekePower/SRPMS/kodi-17.5-5.mga6.src.rpm

A lot of old stuff has been removed since I believe they no longer apply.

The build I did in mock installed and runs fine on my HTPC.


Cheers,
Stig

Ok, I have packaged it for Cauldron, see mailing list.

Now, what it this bug? Is there a bug? Mageia 6 is not a rolling release, so unless we have a good reason to update kodi from 17.3 to 17.5 on mageia 6 the first thing to know is why!
All what I can see in the update log is "possible fix"...

I added your patch Stig on mageia but the only thing your patch is doing is removing the wording "Git:", that's far less than what we consider a bug.

What has been changed on the permissions? This is another bug, which is fixed! Is there any issue with it?

We have enough work to do on serious bugs and fixing Cauldron these days that I would be please to not be flooded with these kinds of request.

As far as I am concerned, this bug is invalid. Closing at such, open a real bug report on a real issue if this happens.

Cheers.
