I announced kodi-next sometime in June, see here, proposing people can
try the next version, but did not receive much response, apart from
Malcom's which did not sound promising; see this thread:

The structure in OBS is just an attempt to be on the safe side in case
of Packman not being continued... Now we know it'll be continued :-)
Nevertheless, the same Kodi version is also available in PMBS, see:

  <https://pmbs.links2linux.org/package/show/home:manfred-h:kodi-next/kodi>

And I'll submit it to Multimedia when we have an official version 22.0
Piers.
