(In reply to comment #93)
Most of the patches on http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/8629 (note the new
URL
scheme for upstream XBMC trac) have been either applied in SVN trunk or are now
otherwise obsolete.
There still seems to be a bit of misunderstanding upstream of the purpose of
DESTDIR with respect to the changes for /usr/{share,lib} at:
http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/8590.
Yes, upstream seems to a have lot of problems in
understanding system
integration concepts.
We should probably split the patch into:
1. a patch that adds DESTDIR support
2. rework the rest of the patch so that only truly arch-dep files such as .so
and .vis (?) files go in /usr/lib{64}/xbmc/ and the rest stay in
/usr/share/xbmc/
AFAICT, this is non-trivial, because at least 9.11 lacks a support of the
concepts of "pkgdatadir" (/usr/share/xmbc) and "pkglibdir"
(/usr/{lib|lib64}/xbmc). It only seems to support the concept of a "single
root" ("prefix").
I haven't checked how difficult implementing this would be. It would likely be
a massive work of several of xbmc's internals.
Then at least (1) could be committed while working on (2).
Hmm,
the problem with this approach is that such patches would have to be
incremental because adding DESTDIR and datadir/libdir both affect the same
pieces of source-code.
