my apologies, I've missed the initial mail with all the mails I'm getting.
I have a more direct line of communication to upstream, I'll try contacting them. will update asap.

as there is no x11 driver for this board (still pending review, not that it matters now), the usage of this pkg is rather limited.
the main usage is to run kodi, afaik kodi doesn't depends on libepoxy, so depending the pkg on kodi for now might be a valid solution.
I have fairly recent img (built 2 weeks ago based on the synced kodi 17 branch) and it compiled well without any errors.

thoughts?
