Name change repository and consequents - Daniel2929 - 2016-02-15
Lets assume that I installed repository A. And I installed different add-ons from this one. And lets assume that today the name is changed from A to B and that Kodi is saying that it can not find A anymore and can not update A. What are the consequence and how to tell Kodi that only the name is changed?

Uninstall A.
Install B.

Thank you for the response. Are there consequences for the add-ons?

Yes. They'll update again.
It will just work.

Add-ons are not currently tied to a specific repository, regardless of where they were installed from.
There was some discussion in the past about doing so (as it's potentially a risk of one repository hijacking add-ons installed from another for legitimate or nefarious reasons), but I don't think anything was ever actually done with the idea.
