kodi: what file defines the recommended versions [solved]

graysky · 2018-03-05 21:20:35

Ike defines the upstream recommended versions of several of kodi's key components (ffmpeg, libdvd, etc.) in this commit. Does anyone know how he identified the respective commits upstream so he could point the PKGBUILD to them? I am assuming they are listed in one of the cmake files or the like but am unable to ID them. I'd like to update kodi-pre-release in the AUR in that style. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, loqs. Ike emailed me. Check out the AUR to see what I ended-up doing.

Looks like you went master/HEAD for the releases marked by commit and by matching codename for ffmpeg.

I don't understand... in each case I browsed to the github address each of the respective files recommended and use the corresponding latest commit (all of which were pretty old actually.

https://github.com/xbmc/libdvdcss/commits/master = Feb/2016
https://github.com/xbmc/libdvdnav/commits/master = Feb/2017
https://github.com/xbmc/libdvdread/commits/master = Feb/2016
https://github.com/xbmc/FFmpeg/commits/master = Oct/2017

...are you suggesting that I use commits corresponding to a different branch?

EDIT: Ah, I see now. I will simplify this using the release tags.

OK! When I let the installed pull down the deps, they come to $CHROOT/build/kodi-pre-release/src/kodi-build/build/download and when I compare their checksums to that of the ones I defined using the tags not commits, they match. Thanks for the post!

master/HEAD was confusing. I meant the head commit of branch master but that would only be true if it was a fresh checkout as locally head tracks whatever commit you have checked out.
Upstream has a separate branch marked for the release in each repo but arch only uses that branch for ffmpeg. Do you notice any differences between releases 3 and 4?

@loqs - Differences in terms of playback? I honestly didn't use them much. Just verified that they both loaded and could play a few sample files.
