Section : non-free/video (because of certain third party code with
non-DFSG clauses)
It builds these binary packages:
xbmc - XBMC Media Center (full metapackage)
xbmc-bin - XBMC Media Center (binary data package)
xbmc-data - XBMC Media Center (arch-independent data package)
xbmc-dbg - XBMC Media Center (debug package)
xbmc-eventclients-common - XBMC Media Center (Event Client Common package)
xbmc-eventclients-dev - XBMC Media Center (Event Client Dev package)
xbmc-eventclients-j2me - XBMC Media Center (Event Client J2ME package)
xbmc-eventclients-ps3 - XBMC Media Center (Event Client PS3 package)
xbmc-eventclients-wiiremote - XBMC Media Center (Event Client WII Remote support package)
xbmc-eventclients-xbmc-send - XBMC Media Center (Event Client XBMC-SEND package)
xbmc-live - XBMC Media Center (XBMC Live package)
xbmc-scripts-example - XBMC Media Center (example scripts)
xbmc-skin-confluence - XBMC Media Center (Confluence skin)
xbmc-skin-pm3-hd - XBMC Media Center (PM3 HD skin)
xbmc-standalone - XBMC Media Center (standalone program)
xbmc-web-iphone-tlrobinson - XBMC Media Center (Iphone web skin)
xbmc-web-pm - XBMC Media Center (Project Mahem web skin)
xbmc-web-pm3 - XBMC Media Center (Project Mahem III web skin)
The package appears to be lintian clean.
The upload would fix these bugs: 469397
My motivation for maintaining this package is: I'm one of the XBMC developers.
I help maintain the packages in the Launchpad PPAs. I would like to see xbmc
packages distributed through Debian and ultimately through Ubuntu.
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/non-free/x/xbmc
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/non-free/x/xbmc/xbmc_9.11~svn25756.rc1~deb1-1.dsc
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
A couple of things I would like to mention now.
This package has been reviewed before. You can find the review (as well as my
response) by looking through the ITP bug log.
This is the same package that was found in the git repo of the Debian
Multimedia team. It's been suggested by one of the DD's of the team to move
the package to collab-maint, since I was the only one within the team
supporting the package.
XBMC is licensed under the GPL-2+. There are various third party code and
libraries used as well, documented in the copyright file. There are also various
files and third party code used with licenses that have non-DFSG clauses.
None of the licenses makes XBMC undistributable however, which is why the
xbmc packages are being placed in non-free. Work is being done to resolve
these licensing issues. See [1] for more details.
The 'DM-Upload-Allowed: yes' field is set. I am a DM and also one of the
upstream devs for XBMC. I would like to keep this field set so that I may be
able to upload this package myself. If any potential sponsor absolutely has a
problem with this, I would be willing to unset it (or have it unset), of course
after some negotiation.
The package also appears to be piuparts clean, although some dependencies
of xbmc is causing the piuparts test to fail. Relevant log message.
