Arch Linux User Repository

My notion was mostly to, as graysky said, keep in sync with the kodi package from the official Arch repositories.

Are you aware of any packages that still depend on xbmc ?

At least there are none in the Arch repos.

It should probably provide (and conflict with) both xbmc and kodi, really.

Great. Thanks again for your quick reply !

@Kr1ss - It must be ... it's been years since there was an xbmc package I think. Testing a revision to this PKGBUILD now that will restore the versioned provides and also made it to conflict with the repo packages. Will post shortly.

Whoops I wasn't aware that community/kodi even provides xbmc rather than kodi. Maybe that's also not intended...

@KR1ss - I modeled that after the official package.... perhaps it was a mistake.

@graysky Is it intended that the package doesn't provide kodi any more ? This led to conflicts w/ some addons as I tried to install it. Anyways, thx very much for maintaining this package, cheers !

It builds fine now without (clean) chroot. I build it using 'yay'.

Thanks.

@zecakeh - You are right about the patches not applying out of git root so I just pushed 18.2rc1pre5-2 which simplifies your proposed changes by simply running git init in the build dir.

Can someone who reported an issue building outside of a clean chroot please try it outside of one and let me know?
