Yesterday's version (don't actually know the correct version string, but my box is still running on intrepid) worked fine for me. No crashes, hangs or errors. The only faulty version for me in the last few months was the one without database support Frown

Does the PPA contain debug versions of xbmc-svn? I would be more then willing to debug the crashlogs and post bug reports.

It sure helped me a lot. Thanks a lot Vajonam!

wattazoum; could you explain us a little bit more about the build scripts. I want to create ubuntu packages as well to update my XBMC live installation. The normal packages requires me to change the profile a lot.

I noticed that the build scripts are located under /home/buildd/. Is it possible to share these?


- wattazoum - 2009-10-19 11:35

Here are the scripts that I use for the build (more or less up to date). They are not generic at all. But I hope you can use them.

Many thanks! I'll have a look at them!

are Hardy PPAs suspended for good?
I just want to know if I have to compile by myself.
And PPAs were very handy for build-deps.

Noone seems to want to answer this question I guess...

wattazoum, I tried to use the build scripts. I had a good look at your code and installed the correct packages. Error messages about missing packages like debhelper dpatch are gone. The only issue I have now is the local variable is not set.

W: xbmc source: configure-generated-file-in-source xbmc/lib/libPython/Python/config.status
Finished running lintian.
Now signing changes and any dsc files...

signfile xbmc_23867-jaunty1_source.changes Test User (alias erhnam) <ph@xbmcfreak.nl>

Successfully signed dsc and changes files

'--local' is not set. Uploading to PPA
No host xbmc-ppa found in config

Cleaning ...


Do you have any idea? This is how the script is initialized: ./svn-build.sh -t SRC_BRANCH=/home/buildd/trunk version=23867 $@

The directories (trunk, debian-jaunty, etc) are all in /home/buildd/

Might be a silly question but please advice hopefully,

I followed the link to the xbmc ppas and is it true that for linux, there is no one complete package such as the windows one where u can install and uninstall and could go back to a previous version easily?

It seems the previous few posters are having issues trying to reinstall a previous build or something and the process is not as clear cut as the windows version??

There are multiple *.deb files all over the place for the same build number. Do we have to download all of them and install each of them manually just to be up and running??
