Hi again.
After the first time I made this script public, I've been hard at work fixing bugs, making the script more robust and more modular.
It's now at version 1.1.1
The main change is that if the script is run without parameteres, it assumes a set of defaults which are the same as --with=clean,addons.
This means that it will check for updates from git, remove the kodi-build directory, recreate it, configure, build, install and also clean and install the binary-addons.
I've also made the script more modular by moving code out of functions and into new functions where they really belong.
The script now logs everything to the log-file so that you can check what has happened during the run. It will tell you where you can find the file at the end of the run.
Introduced and fixed a lot of bugs. I believe this version is the best so far.
Really looking forward to hearing from you and your experiences with this script. Please let me know if you have any suggestions, improvements, issues or bugs that you'd like me to look at and please use the Issue system at Github.
Thanks and good luck :-)
Cheers,
kekePower

Hi all.
Version 1.3.1 has been released with numerous fixes and enhancements.
I've also begun the slow progress on a new, major version. The 1.3.1 version has been branched to "v1.x" on Github and this is the recommended version to use until v2.0.0 is released.
An incomplete list of wishes for v2.0.0
* Be able to compile and install binary-addons separately
* Build a list of packages/codecs/libraries that offer a better multimedia experience
** Download, compile and install them if the user answers Yes
* CLean up language files
* More to come...
Cheers,

Hello.
I've just pushed version 1.5.3 to Github.
Changelog:
* Edited a string in the en_US lang file
* Fixed a tiny bug
* Added a new variable for your extensions, STANDALONE, that will make sure that the script executes only your extension and not the rest of the script.
* Added updated screenshots in README.md for Github.
Please enjoy and let me know if you find anything or have ideas/wishes/features.
Now I'll have to update the documentation for writing your own extensions :-)
Cheers,
kekePower
