A Kodi (XBMC) snap using deb2snap

[Michael Nelson]

Hi,

Like a few others, I'm quite new to both RPi and snappy and have just been
tinkering a bit with cloud instances running snappy.

I've got a raspberry pi 2, and wanted to try using deb2snap [1] (thanks
mterry!) to create a Kodi (formally XBMC) [2] snap - only because I thought
it'd be a good learning experience and produce something potentially useful
to others (it's already know to work well on RPi [3]).

I've written up a bit about how I think I should be able to do that [4],
basically:
 * Install  Ubuntu Trusty for rPi2 on a separate SD card,
 * install XMir (from source, for newer XMir) and Kodi,
 * Setup deb2snap and play with various package inclusions/exclusions
 * sideload and test using the snappy SD card

But I could be way off target. If people familiar with using deb2snap with
XMir can take a look and let me know, it might save me a few hours this
weekend. Also, is it possible to do the building on something faster than
the RPi2? (probably not worth creating a package with XMir and deb2snap for
trusty and using PPAs - not even sure if that'd be possible if XMir isn't
supported pre-Wily anymore).

Thanks for any input,
-Michael (miken on Freenode).
