When reporting a bug upstream they tend to insist on copies of these
logs, so
maybe worth keeping it in there?
I'll leave this in for the moment anyway.
I noticed upstream have been working on porting python 2.6.4 to xbmc.
Is anyone
working with them to ensure that the external Fedora python will work?
Currently if you build with external python (as required by Fedora) then python
based plugins (i.e. most plugins) fail to work. It would seem to be a good time
to encourage upstream to ensure xbmc will work with Fedora python as the
plugins are heavily used.
I think other distro packagers (Debian etc.) have been leaning on upstream XBMC
to fix this, but I don't think it's a high priority for the devs when I've
discussed this on IRC. Some don't see the point in distro packages and
recommend "XBMC Live", others just don't have time to work on fixing the
Python
bugs. Obviously I'm sure they'd be happy to take patches that fix this,
however I don't have the time to work on the innards of the python-xbmc
bindings myself.
Was there an upstream trac bug that's dedicated to fixing this, or a forum post
that outlines this porting effort that you know about?
