Title:
xbmc should be on official ubuntu repositories
Status in XBMC for Linux:

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
following this question:
https://answers.launchpad.net/xbmc/+question/177432
hello,
as i asked in AskUbuntu here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/69914/why-isnt-xbmc-media-center-in-ubuntu-software-center
why isn't the XBoxMediaCenter (aka: xbmc) isn't in Ubuntu's official repos.? isn't it open source?
i realize Debian is the main source of the packages, but can't Ubuntu
devs. add a package by themselves?
i doubt the fact the xbmc maintainers can make the PPA suitable for
Precise in time for 12.04 release.. and third, no, i don't like
installing PPA's for brand new software, but for software updates..
Since xbmc is fully open sourced, and the licensed issue is long
behind us (as can be read here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=469397 and here:
http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/7983 ) i believe Ubuntu should add this
(and maybe also Boxee) to the latest and greatest selection of
software in the USC
thanks in advance.
