Hmm, now why wouldn't we do a thing like that? We just need to set things up for testing stuff, that just takes a couple of extra days.
People can be so impatient...

Thanks for the hard work.
Looking forward to future versions!

Hi! How is it going with this?
I really want a bugfix included in Kodi 18.7 so I'm checking the LE website every day now for news.

The guys are currently building LE 9.2.3, which is based on Kodi 18.7.1.
PS: Ready to download now.

Thanks for release - seems to have installed fine on my test unit.
Hey, really dumb question.
Do the updates always 'clean up' after themselves well?
Like what if you had Libre 8 and you updated all each individual update file through the line - would the filesystem end up full of junk?

The entire OS is contained in two files (KERNEL and SYSTEM) and then we delete the .tar file and folders we extracted those from.
-
Yeah but like
Say you over write
/data/file01.blah!
/data/file02a.blah!
with
/data/file01.blah!
/data/file03a.blah!
DOES file 02a get deleted? Are there any orphaned files, inside the folders for the OS and application?

We don't overwrite anything. Everything you see in the OS except for /storage is uncompressed from the read-only SYSTEM file at boot time, and we don't touch /storage during update (it's not even mounted).
-
I'm not referring to overwrite as much as I'm referring to prune, literally orphaned files no longer used by the linux OS powering the device or the Kodi application.

We manage 100% of the OS inside the KERNEL and SYSTEM files and it is not possible for "cruft" to accumulate in the OS because it's all contained inside a read-only (thus cannot be written into) file that is uncompressed to create a virtual filesystem on boot. You (and Kodi) manage 100% of the /storage area and this may accumulate thumbs, add-on installers, add-on caches, crash logs, etc.
