Arch Linux User Repository

The version format has changed, ignore the warning about downgrading package.

The new format is recommended by ArchWiki [1] and is following: RELEASE.rREVISION where REVISION is a number of revisions since beginning of the history.

[1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_package_guidelines#The_pkgver.28.29_function

My pkgver uses this for kodi-git

printf "%s.%s.r%s.%s\n" "$(grep 'VERSION_MAJOR' version.txt | sed 's/[^0-9\.]*//g')" "$(grep 'VERSION_MINOR' version.txt | sed 's/[^0-9\.]*//g')" "$(git describe --tags --long | cut -d '-' -f 3)" "$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)"

result: 18.0.r4271.75bddb4e05

First of all, I'd like to thank BlackIkeEagle for all the work. I'll do my best to keep it on track.

Second, I wonder if there's a specific reason why we don't use recommended version format: RELEASE.rREVISION? [1]. Git tags won't work, but we can easily use version.txt [2]. It may look like this:

_major=$(cat version.txt | grep "VERSION_MAJOR" | sed 's/VERSION_MAJOR //')
_minor=$(cat version.txt | grep "VERSION_MINOR" | sed 's/VERSION_MINOR //')
_revision=$(printf "r%s.%s" "$(git rev-list --count HEAD)" "$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)")
echo "$_major.$_minor.$_revision"

And last but not least:
@graysky Thanks for pointing it out - it's already updated.

@Lenovsky - I did it, and it builds and runs. Please see: https://gist.github.com/graysky2/8106be1c6021bc6e5cd6c890aa732360

You will probably want to update this to sync up with external ffmpeg. See the latest kodi PKGBUILD in [community].

cmake, deps, and makedepends are different

Thanks to BlackIkeEagle for all of the hard work, and long live Lenovsky!

All: if you use this package, please adopt it so others can continue to benefit.

I just disowned this, I don't have enough time to keep up with everything.

kodi-dev-git is part of this package, every time you install kodi-git makepkg will also build kodi-dev-git, which contains the files necessary for plugin development etc. The "dev" does not stand for "development version".

It apparently is actively maintained since the maintainer keeps committing an updated version number every day, which is redundant since the pkgver function will update it anyway.
