Git or repo? because my original installation is from repo and since the Git and Repo dont have the same addon.xml content nor the same naming structure (Repo : skin.cirrus.extended.v3.svn .... Git: skin.cirrus.extended.v3-master) if you want to switch between the 2 you have to edit the folder name and the addon.xml. So i was wondering is it worth doing the modification from Git to repo or just wait from repo update cuz the delay of repo update to reflect Git changes is minimal?
Always the most up to date is the git version. Skin naming in git has nothing to do with the skin itself, master is the standard name of the head branch.
If you're familiar with the git version system you don't have to download the whole zip file every time. With a local clone of the git repo you could just fetch the differences whenever you like.
Passion repo is always at least a day behind. It also gives a unique name and addon version each time a new build is available. It has to happen like that so xbmc can notice that a new version is ready to update.
If it's worth making any modifications it's completely up to you - is it worth your time?
Thanks, Yeah im familiar with Git updating so i could just set it up it was really just for personal knowledge You say that Skin naming has nothing to do with the skin...but it does for the settings of the skin. Like if you are using the Repo version which is named skin.cirrus.extended.v3.svn once installed and then you configure the skin and all. in the guisettings.xml all the skin lines related to the skin will have skin.cirrus.extended.v3.svn in the name (ie: <setting type="bool" name="skin.cirrus.extended.v3.svn.HomeappButton5">false</setting>) Then if you decide to install the GIt version(via install from zip) for the first time so that you can be up to date it will install as skin.cirrus.extended.v3-master. Then when you start XBMC you wont have your configurations because the guisettings is looking for skin.cirrus.extended.v3.svn and it will create a hole new section in your guisettings.xml that have skin.cirrus.extended.v3-master in the name. I guess you can just use a Git program to clone the files to skin.cirrus.extended.v3.svn directly the first time around....well it was just a observation of mine
