Hi guys,

As I need support for h265 on my HTPC running Debian Jessie and packaged xBMC 13, I decided to manually package by myself Kodi 14. Hopefully, this should be quite easy as the script mk-debian-package.sh do the job...
So after installing all the build dependencies packages, backporting afpfs package from Ubuntu repositories, and creating a dummy package to provide libgnutls-dev as libgnutls28-dev is breaking the dependencies, I was able to checkout the git repo and run mk-debian-package.sh... But it fails :

rico@kodibld:~/src/kodi/xbmc/tools/Linux/packaging$ ./mk-debian-package.sh

I can't understand the error message "no upstream tarball found" as the tarball is actually as expected :

I also tried with pbuilder instead of debuild, with the same result. I used this command line :

RELEASEV=14 ARCHS=amd64 DISTS=jessie BUILDER="pdebuild" PDEBUILD_OPTS="--debbuildopts \"-j4\"" PBUILDER_BASE="/home/rico/xbmc-pkg" DPUT_TARGET="local" ./mk-debian-package.sh

If somebody can tell me where I'm wrong ?

Thanks,

Eric

expected one of *xbmc*_14.0~git20141126.1313-488627a.orig.tar.gz, *xbmc*_14.0~git20141126.1313-488627a.orig.tar.bz2 , ...

rebranding artifact..

Hai, i have tried this a lots of times, yes it can be done, and im also a big debian fan, but...
best is use ubuntu 14.04 for Kodi
look here, great thread.

you can use AMD and Nvidia and intel with this setup.

and FFMpeg in debian is a big difference, it missing things, due to licences.

Damn ! it was on my noze !!! Thanks !

So I patched the file mk-debian-package.sh replacing "kodi" by "xbmc" at line 102 (in function archiveRepo) and now the build is /almost/ working...

I write /almost/ because the build processes complete successfully, but the Debian packaging fails !

I put here the end of the build log :

Any idea ?

I didn't have time to update the xbmc-packaging repo yet. If you can't wait grab the debian files from our ubuntu nightly or unstable ppa.

I don't like ubuntu, I have my reasons, but this is out of scope. My HTPC is an Intel NUC system, with a Intel HD4000 video chip and it works very well, at lest with Gotham Wink

and regarding the FFmpeg license issue, I'm using multimedia packages that come from deb-multimedia repository, which is OK Wink

So I really *want* to get kodi working on my Debian system !

Ok, cool, you a better packager then me.. ;-)
are you using these repo's also for ffmpeg on jessie?

deb https://people.debian.org/~rbalint/ppa/xbmc-ffmpeg xbmc-ffmpeg-wheezy-backports/

deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-backports main contrib non-free

btw, the mk-debian-package.sh script should work again

no, I used ffmpeg packaged by deb-multimedia repo.
Finally I was able to get a usable kodi package on Jessie, with h265 playback... I but it broke other codec playback !

Currently I switched my HTPC system to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with Kodi's Unstable PPA repo and it seems to work like a charm. I just have a lot of pain to get a working tvheadend package but I finally succeeded to package the git HEAD branch.

So now I think I'm going to stay as this, praying to keep the system stable : I never played with LTS flavor of Uduntu, anyway it can be worse than non LTS releases...

Hi guys, i'm trying to install kodi on Debian Jessie but it appears this:

Any idea?
