[Bug 1030] New: Review request: xbmc - Media center

http://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1030 Summary: Review request: xbmc - Media center Product: Package Reviews Version: Current Platform: All OS/Version: GNU/Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 Component: Review Request AssignedTo: rpmfusion-package-review(a)rpmfusion.org ReportedBy: alexl(a)users.sourceforge.net CC: rpmfusion-package-review(a)rpmfusion.org Blocks: 2 Estimated Hours: 0.0 Spec file: http://alexlan.fedorapeople.org/rpmfusion/xbmc.spec SRPM: http://alexlan.fedorapeople.org/rpmfusion/xbmc-9.11-3.fc12.src.rpm Note that XBMC is a big package, the SRPM is 135 MB (although the binary is only 32 MB). Why not in Fedora: this requires linking against codecs such as ffmpeg and libmad which are not in Fedora. As for other media players such as mplayer there is no simple way to have the media player itself in Fedora and the codecs in RPM Fusion that I am aware of. This is my second RPM Fusion package, I also maintain picard-freeworld. Several other XBMC contributors are willing to help maintain this package through me, at least initially. I am also an active Fedora maintainer: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Alexlan There are some outstanding issues for this package (noted below) that probably need to be resolved as we go through the review process. Nevertheless I want to submit this package to get some initial feedback from the RPM Fusion community regarding the general feasibility of including xbmc in the repository before spending a lot of time with upstream fixing the various issues. 1. The first issue (as revealed in the rpmlint log, below) is that xbmc installs no-arch independent code in /usr/share/xbmc/. We probably need to work with upstream to see how best to relocate these binaries to /usr/lib{64}/. 2. Secondly, XBMC used to bundle private copies of many of their libraries but recently have made efforts to make it possible to use system libraries (e.g. ffmpeg and python). However there are a couple of places where this is still done, such as libexif. Upstream is willing to consider patches to make it possible to use system libraries, so it should be possible to phase out any remaining bundled libraries, even if they aren't yet so in the SRPM I submitted above. # rpmlint xbmc-9.11-3.fc12.x86_64.rpm xbmc.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/xbmc/system/players/paplayer/gensapu-x86_64-linux.so xbmc.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/xbmc/system/players/paplayer/dumb-x86_64-linux.so xbmc.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/xbmc/system/players/paplayer/stsoundlibrary-x86_64-linux.so xbmc.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/xbmc/system/players/paplayer/timidity-x86_64-linux.so xbmc.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/xbmc/system/players/dvdplayer/libdvdnav-x86_64-linux.so xbmc.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/xbmc/screensavers/Euphoria.xbs xbmc.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/xbmc/system/ImageLib-x86_64-linux.so xbmc.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/xbmc/visualisations/opengl_spectrum.vis xbmc.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/xbmc/system/hdhomerun-x86_64-linux.so xbmc.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/xbmc/system/players/paplayer/libsidplay2-x86_64-linux.so xbmc.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/xbmc/system/libexif-x86_64-linux.so xbmc.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/xbmc/system/libid3tag-x86_64-linux.so xbmc.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/xbmc/system/players/paplayer/nosefart-x86_64-linux.so xbmc.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/xbmc/system/python/python26-x86_64-linux.so xbmc.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/xbmc/system/players/paplayer/ac3codec-x86_64-linux.so xbmc.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/xbmc/visualisations/Waveform.vis xbmc.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/xbmc/xbmc.bin xbmc.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/xbmc/system/players/paplayer/vgmstream-x86_64-linux.so xbmc.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/xbmc/screensavers/Solarwinds.xbs xbmc.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/xbmc/system/players/paplayer/MACDll-x86_64-linux.so xbmc.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/xbmc/visualisations/ProjectM.vis xbmc.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/xbmc/xbmc-xrandr xbmc.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/xbmc/visualisations/Goom.vis xbmc.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/xbmc/screensavers/Plasma.xbs xbmc.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/xbmc/system/players/paplayer/adpcm-x86_64-linux.so xbmc.x86_64: W: no-documentation xbmc.x86_64: E: non-executable-script /usr/share/xbmc/system/python/spyce/spyceCmd.py 0644 /usr/bin/env xbmc.x86_64: E: non-executable-script /usr/share/xbmc/system/python/spyce/run_spyceCmd.py 0644 /usr/bin/env xbmc.x86_64: E: non-executable-script /usr/share/xbmc/system/python/spyce/verchk.py 0644 /usr/bin/env xbmc.x86_64: W: devel-file-in-non-devel-package /usr/share/xbmc/visualisations/xbmc_vis.h xbmc.x86_64: E: non-executable-script /usr/share/xbmc/system/python/spyce/spyceCGI.py 0644 /usr/bin/env xbmc.x86_64: E: non-executable-script /usr/share/xbmc/system/python/spyce/run_spyceModpy.py 0644 /usr/bin/env xbmc.x86_64: E: non-executable-script /usr/share/xbmc/system/python/spyce/run_spyceCGI.py 0644 /usr/bin/env xbmc.x86_64: E: non-executable-script /usr/share/xbmc/system/python/spyce/spyce.py 0644 /usr/bin/env 1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 32 errors, 2 warnings. arch-dependent files in /usr/share are still in rpm for reasons as noted above. The non-executable script messages result from plugins .py files that are run from within xbmc, but not by users, I believe. # rpmlint xbmc-9.11-3.fc12.src.rpm xbmc.src: W: no-cleaning-of-buildroot %clean 1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings. Only just noticed this warning after the upload: will fix in next iteration. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
