I installed the LIRC RPM 2 days ago, but I had to configure a lot to make things work. It did not work initially with my home brew receiver on a serial port, because the 'lirc_serial.o' kernel module was not in the RPM. Also, it will not work with devfs (MDK 8.2).
I edited the init scripts to make it work more failsafe, and I added more configuration options in /etc/sysconfig/lircd. Things should work more 'out of the box' now. Maybe it is a good idea to compile this thing for different drivers and split up the package accordingly. Right now the SRPM must be built as root because a make install wants to create /dev/lirc. Maybe a patch would be appropriate. --------------------- Name : lirc-common Relocations: (not relocateable) Version : 0.6.5 Vendor: MandrakeSoft Release : 1 Build Date: di 04 jun 2002 20:41:02 CEST Install date: di 04 jun 2002 20:43:15 CEST Build Host: warpcore.positronic.net Group : System/Kernel and hardware Source RPM: lirc-0.6.5-1.src.rpm Size : 377815 License: GPL Packager : Maxim Heijndijk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> URL : http://www.lirc.org/ Summary : The common files needed by any version of LIRC.
