Details

I am not sure the precise nature of the issue, but the recent update to jre-openjdk causes a build failure when building kodi-nexus-git. Complete build log is attached.

According to https://javaalmanac.io/bytecode/versions/ the class file version 65 would match jre/jdk 21 and as class files should be backward compatible (i.e. run on newer JREs) might mean that this jre / java is too old (not too new).

I am not sure if this is a packaging issue or a problem upstream. I *think* the last-known-good package was version 20.0.2.u9-3 but can investigate this when I have a bit more time.

This clearly looks like an upstream kodi issue. Does "kodi" in the main repo still build?

No.

What if groovy was built from source using jdk 21 rather than unpacking upstream's built tarball?

As the issue appears to be groovy being incompatible with Java 21 I would suggest adding that limit to groovy [1]. kodi can also be fixed by adding a version limit to its PKGBUILD [2].

[1] PKGBUILD.diff.groovy
[2] PKGBUILD.diff.kodi
   PKGBUILD.diff.groovy (0.6 KiB)
   PKGBUILD.diff.kodi (0.6 KiB)

Good call, loqs. Modifying kodi's PKGBUILD as you recommended did indeed fix the build for me. I also see that Antonio Rojas incorporated this change into 20.2-4. It is probably OK to close this ticket now. Thank you for your insights into these as always.
