I have created my own home:manfred-h/A_tw-cmake package using the last
cmake-3 version contained in Slowroll. With this Kodi and Handbrake
build properly as expected. Looking at the various failing packages in
Multimedia, it turns out that appr. 9 packages fail due to Tumbleweed's
cmake-4.

I'll submit my package to Essentials for both Tumbleweed and Slowroll as
the latter one will probably also upgrade to cmake-4.

Please someone accept the request so we can work again. Thx!

Cheers.
