Created attachment 388388 [details] xbmc-9999-no-os-version.patch Ahead of the 14.0 release, XBMC (soon to be "Kodi") is now passing all but one of the unit tests provided. The remaining failure is a test that the application is successfully able to determine the OS version (mostly for adding it to the debug logs). Because Gentoo is a rolling release distribution and does not have a version number in the same way other distros do. I believe we should carry a patch to disable this test. I had also considered using the baselayout version, but ruled it out because it would be adding Gentoo-specific code into XBMC. Similarly, it wouldn't be appropriate to try to have this test removed from XBMC because it is still useful for the tests when running on other Operating Systems and Distros. An upstream issue covering the (brief) discussion so far is available here: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/15491
seems like the test should be fixed upstream
I will work with the upstream to try and come up with a solution there then.
