Hi, I am opening this bug so I won't forget about fixing at least few of the bundling issues xbmc has. The goal is that I will write patch for upstream to include so we don't polute our sweet ebuild. Bundled libs: /usr/lib64/xbmc/system/ImageLib-x86_64-linux.so /usr/lib64/xbmc/system/libexif-x86_64-linux.so Not sure if it is handler on bundled lib yet: /usr/lib64/xbmc/system/players/paplayer/libsidplay2-x86_64-linux.so /usr/lib64/xbmc/system/players/paplayer/timidity-x86_64-linux.so Pysqlite (python[sqlite]) and simplejson: /usr/share/xbmc/addons/script.module.pysqlite /usr/share/xbmc/addons/script.module.pysqlite/addon.xml /usr/share/xbmc/addons/script.module.pysqlite/lib /usr/share/xbmc/addons/script.module.pysqlite/lib/pysqlite2 /usr/share/xbmc/addons/script.module.pysqlite/lib/pysqlite2/__init__.py /usr/share/xbmc/addons/script.module.simplejson /usr/share/xbmc/addons/script.module.simplejson/addon.xml /usr/share/xbmc/addons/script.module.simplejson/lib /usr/share/xbmc/addons/script.module.simplejson/lib/LICENSE.txt /usr/share/xbmc/addons/script.module.simplejson/lib/simplejson /usr/share/xbmc/addons/script.module.simplejson/lib/simplejson/__init__.py /usr/share/xbmc/addons/script.module.simplejson/lib/simplejson/decoder.py /usr/share/xbmc/addons/script.module.simplejson/lib/simplejson/encoder.py /usr/share/xbmc/addons/script.module.simplejson/lib/simplejson/scanner.py /usr/share/xbmc/addons/script.module.simplejson/lib/simplejson/tool.py Fonts (should rather use fontconfig to get them): /usr/share/xbmc/media/Fonts/arial.ttf /usr/share/xbmc/media/Fonts/teletext.ttf /usr/share/xbmc/addons/skin.confluence/fonts/DejaVuSans-Bold-Caps.ttf /usr/share/xbmc/addons/skin.confluence/fonts/NOTICE.txt /usr/share/xbmc/addons/skin.confluence/fonts/README.txt /usr/share/xbmc/addons/skin.confluence/fonts/Roboto-Bold.ttf /usr/share/xbmc/addons/skin.confluence/fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf (easiest for now maybe just do symlink in the ebuild) Bundled fontconfig stuff: /usr/share/xbmc/system/players/dvdplayer/etc/fonts/conf.avail /usr/share/xbmc/system/players/dvdplayer/etc/fonts/conf.d /usr/share/xbmc/system/players/dvdplayer/etc/fonts/fonts.conf /usr/share/xbmc/system/players/dvdplayer/etc/fonts/fonts.dtd (easiest for now maybe just do symlink in the ebuild)
Pysqlite seems to be only proper hook so it is not bundled.
Simplejson code deleted from live ebuild as all python scripts use system one already anyway.
Fontconfig configs are used only on Mac. It can't be eqasily patched upstream as they install with find over all files they have in one folder. The rm added to install phase.
As the font install is done same way as other files we can't patch the build system. I added symlinks for the required fonts apart from the unknown ones. The unknown ones are: {Dejavu/Roboto}-Bold-Caps.ttf (which seems made by them for menuitems). teletext.ttf (the git does not point out the source of the file anywhere :/)
Created attachment 336886 [details, diff] projectm.patch V1 of projectm unbundling patch. Still need to make the presets dir configurable, other than that it should be fine.

I now get the following QA messages when emerging XBMC: * QA Notice: dosym target omits basename: '/usr/share/xbmc/media/Fonts/' * QA Notice: dosym target omits basename: '/usr/share/xbmc/addons/skin.confluence/fonts/' * QA Notice: dosym target omits basename: '/usr/share/xbmc/addons/skin.confluence/fonts/'

Comment on attachment 336886 [details, diff] projectm.patch i don't mind adding patches like this to the ebuild
Created attachment 339786 [details, diff] projectm.patch Updated patch for the projectm that hopefully does everything right. It is based against 12.0 as live version needs bit adjusted patch (fuzz in the patchdata, code is same). I will submit it to upstream to pick and merge.
Upstream issue: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/2290
(In reply to comment #11) > Upstream issue: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/2290 As upstream desires pull requests updated the request with: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/2519
Will add the projectm patch to 9999 and 12.1-r1 ebuilds in few hours. From further checking I find that it also bundles libdvdnav and libdvdcss.
As far as I know, all external libraries mentioned in this bug and that I've been tracking (for years) have finally been externalized upstream (as of Kodi 17). Therefore, I'm closing this issue - if there are any libraries that are still bundled that I haven't noticed / am not aware of / that are added in future versions of Kodi, please don't hesitate to open new bugs.
