gcc-9.2 is apparently just around the corner -- it might make more sense to go with that, assuming that it's mostly a bugfix release plus the SuSE-sourced zen2 optimisations from gcc-10?

If all goes well, I'd like to release 9.2 on Monday, August 12th. (source)

Not that I have a strong preference for which version we use, but the Zen2 optimizations are useless to us since we don't build binaries specifically for AMD.

I just noticed this: https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.blender.Blender

Also note that Josh is currently swamped with IRL stuff, so don't expect him to land the OpenSSL and systemd stuff right away.

If it needs the latest version of python 3, then you're not going to get it ASAP. Upgrading to the latest release of Python (2 and 3) will require us to update OpenSSL. Updating OpenSSL involves also keeping the existing version around, both in the same upgrade (so shipping both at the same time, in the same package, to ensure no libs are removed and ABIs pulled out from underneath python's feet). This has to be done to ensure the package manager continues to function, so we can perform the necessary package transactions to get the dependencies to build (and even rebuild) Python 2/3 in the first place. And all of that will be done at the same time I'm updating systemd.
So, don't expect it in the immediate future.

Did the patch help? I can test this on MATE -unstable once you feel it's ready for testing.

All that out of the way, where/how may I submit the aforementioned PR?

Is this still an issue?

Cannot reproduce with kodi-18.3 and the newest version of kodi-platform (R1573:b0a10efe259ed4c9fd1d593016bdce0c34c4512c).

Latest supported version of pvr-iptvsimple is now built as part of our "batteries included" version of Kodi.

Any comments re. the test of the recently landed pvr-iptvsimple-3.5.8?

Kodi-18.3 was landed in unstable last night (R1571:115a53714a61).

Good news! Kodi-18.3 now correctly builds and includes the pvr-iptvsimple-3.5.8 plugin when I do a complete build of kodi. \o/

So, just so I'm sure we're on the same page:

I don’t think we should update to 4.0 or later because they seem to be for the next Kodi update possibly named Matrix? I think it would be wiser to stick with the 3.x.x series that explicitly states that it’s for Leia. Will be updating my revision to 3.5.8!

Because there's nothing to gain by having it as far as I can tell. Samba itself works fine without it.

Added mtools rundep to syslinux and successfully made a usb stick bootable with syslinux:

This was actually resolved in the 7.3 update (R2779:170dd5a1496728d960d68494d539596d0e8fea9a) by using the upstream download with pre-built .zo packages.

I'm keeping this in mind for my next Kodi rebuild -- if we're lucky, it'll Just Work™ because it and its deps will be pulled in automagically by Kodi's own build scripts.

I appreciate you taking the time to make this work yourself. I'm a bit burnt out at the moment so not a lot of packaging happening from my side these days.

Do you get the same behaviour if you remove (the outdated) kodi-platform?
