Dead right. At present this link https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archiv...ter=trusty shows only libcec compiled for trusty. Well spotted.

* nickr continues hunt for mythbuntu 14.04 isos as its a wet Easter weekend and damn all else to do but update 5 media PC's. Then again a screw up would make me dead meat for similarly bored teenagers.

Sometimes the simplest answer is the hardest to find... Can't believe I missed that Big Grin

Edit: You could always use the unstable for beta/RC or nightly PPA

https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archiv...ter=trusty

So just use ppa:team-xbmc/unstable

Trusty stuff atm is all on unstable ppa when Final xbmc is release then the normal ppa will have trusty packages.

Why wouldn't the same packages as for other releases be built in the team-xbmc ppa? Makes no sense.

Why does it not?

https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/ppa ppa:team-xbmc/ppa <<-- Final XBMC releases only
https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/unstable ppa:team-xbmc/unstable <<-- Current Gotham Development Beta -> RC (when Final release gets moved to ppa above)
https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/xbmc-nightly ppa:team-xbmc/xbmc-nightly <<-- Master Nightly builds

On the ppa:team-xbmc/ppa there was no Trusty and so on when 12.3 was released so there is no builds for Frodo in trusty and likely wont ever be (officially)

Why libs and stuff get built, is for same reason stated, I suspect that because these packages were available post Frodo or were built for after the fact or copied form other ppa), and hence will build for all available Ubuntu Distros, makes perfect sense as depends on packager and ppa.

In fact it says for libcec "Copied from ubuntu trusty in Pulse by Wolfgang Schupp" so was copied from https://launchpad.net/~pulse-eight/+archive/pulse to all other xbmc ppas whatever other packagers do is their decision,

You probably know this, but ill say it anyway.
Packager "Person A" build package xyz for all current Ubuntu distros on ppa Y, Then Packager "Person B" ges and copies packages xyz from ppa Y to his own ppa Z to either all distros or to specified ditros the "Person B" specifies at copy time. Person B can also choose to either rebuild packages or just to copy the results or "person A",

Now "Person B" on his ppa Z only had his own packages xxx for Ubuntu distros 1,2 and 3 but the packages xyz copied for ppa Y were built for Ubuntu distros 1,2,3,4,5,6 -- this results in what you see in many ppas and in this case this one.

when gotham is final, you'll find a trusty version in the stable ppa. Till then, use unstable.

thanks everyone team-xbmc/unstable worx. silly me, i always thought rar was an open format, I suppose due to the communities in which I see it most embraced. if someone doesn't mind elaborating would the license issue be on account of rarlab looking for money to have the format featured in software in the ubuntu repo or simply because it's not an "open format" is it restricted from being in there? it seems a shame for team xbmc to have to offer up an inferior version in the repo from which 99% of the people using the os would get it.
