Hi Nicholas! I joined Debian to package Kodi 19.0 and full archive of binary addons and I already made a significant progress on the way:
1. The build dependencies for kodi not present in Debian at the moment of my join included: - dav1d (accepted to unstable 2 days ago, maintained by Dylan Aissi), - libudfread (awaiting approval from FTP team, maintained by me), - shairplay (awaiting approval from FTP team, maintained by me) So far, after libudfread & shairplay are accepted into unstable, we'll have all dependencies within Debian. 2. The build dependencies requiring additional work were fixed: - flatbuffers (1.11.0 fixed, waiting for upstream to tag 1.12.1 closing GCC-10 build failures) - libcdio (libcdio++ / libiso9660++ added, waiting for Gabriel T. Gomez to upload the package to unstable), - libsrt (patches proposed for review) 3. The unofficial binary repository targeting buster-backports/amd64 has been published on https://basilgello.github.io/kodi-nightly-debian-repo containing no-change rebuilds of kodi build dependencies, kodi itself and binary addons gradually added as prepared. The accompanying source code is hosted on Salsa: https://salsa.debian.org/basilgello-guest 4. After Kodi upstream declares the EOL of 18.x "Leia" branch, the repositories will be pushed to multimedia team's space and on release, the whole set will be uploaded to unstable. Uploading to experimental was considered excessive by Balint Reczey as every build occupies 4GB of Debian snapshot server space forever on.
