Thanks!

I am generally happy to receive patches from porters and would be open
to accepting it, but before I do so I have two questions:

Can kodi run on any alpha machine?

The kodi package is quite big. Would building the package worth it
considering the space needed on snapshot.d.o, on mirrors, etc?

Cheers,
Balint
