https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D245259 Bernhard Froehlich <decke@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |decke@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #2 from Bernhard Froehlich <decke@FreeBSD.org> --- I have just chosen this PR to discuss the plans for all the kodi addons that you did send. Is there a specific reason why you created them for the kodi-devel port ins= tead of the kodi port? Are you still interested in the libretro plugins? If we want to get this into the portstree we definitely need to prepare ourselves for the consequences. Right now when the kodi port is updated (mi= nor version change eg. 18.0->18.1) 3 additional addon ports need a version bump= and a pkg-plist change. When the kodi major version changes (eg 18->19) 3 addon ports (and 1-2 additional ports) need a full update at the same time. That doesn't scale well if we add another 10 addon ports. The result would be that hardly any committers would take that PRs. It's a = lot of work to get all maintainers coordinated and to commit all this stuff together. As you already know the manpower for maintaining the kodi ports is also qui= te low on our side and we are duplicating a lot of work because we have kodi a= nd kodi-devel in the tree which are similar but different and each with their = own set of addons which is just nonsense. I am not sure yet how to solve this properly but in my opinion we should definitely focus on one kodi port and cleanup that kodi-addon mess before we add more to it. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
