Bug#953132: kodi-pvr-vdr-vnsi: 8.1.0 Status: Ok (from source)

[Georg Gast <georg@schorsch-tech.de>]

Dear Maintainers,

The old plugin from stretch worked up until buster. The system was 
originally installed with stretch, but he kodi-pvr-vdr-vnsi addon was 
not upgraded nor purged at the dist upgrades. I hit this issue as i 
tried to upgrade to bullseye on my VDR. because at buster->bullseye it 
got purged.

I just built kodi 19 Beta2 [1] and kodi-pvr-vdr-vnsi:8.1.0 [2] from 
source and tested it on my VDR system.
It works on bullseye/amd64 from source. I tried to get the package from 
sid and kodi from bullseye. I could not install the plugin as it depends 
on kodi-pvr-api=5.10.3. Also because the package in sid is still the old 
version.

Then i tried to check the source on salsa. It has already the merge of 
8.1.0 upstream in it. I built the package from the salsa source and 
installed the resulting package on my VDR. It works as expected.

Just wanted to let you know, because the freeze of bullseye is on the 
doorstep. Maybe this addon can slip into bullseye.

Bye

Georg
