--- Comment #6 from James French <james@french.id.au> ---
(In reply to yzrh from comment #5)

Kodi 19 (pre-release) is already in the tree as multimedia/kodi-devel
maintained by tobik@FreeBSD.org. The last bump on that was about 2 weeks ago
for 19.0A1 so it's up to date if you want Kodi 19. This port should probably
get bumped to 19.0 only when it's actually released.

You're right that most addons are just xml and python, but there are some t=
hat
are compile C/C++ which need some attention. I'm referring to are the follo=
wing
ports:
devel/kodi-platform (not an addon exactly, but needed to build them)
multimedia/kodi-addon-pvr-hts
multimedia/kodi-addon-pvr-iptvsimple
multimedia/kodi-addon-peripheral-joystick

They're all examples of kodi plugins that are compiled libraries and end up
with a symlink of (for example):
lib/kodi/addons/pvr.hts/pvr.hts.so.18.7

When Kodi goes up a major version, most of those ports need legitimate bump=
s to
bring them up to a supported version. When Kodi gets a minor version bump, =
they
all still work, but the ports currently break because their pkg-plist files
reference a the old Kodi minor version.

I've emailed those port maintainers with a suggestion of exposing the Kodi =
API
version in Makefile.addons which can then be included in the other ports so
they keep working (the second patch).
