Package: lirc Version: 0.8.0-9 Severity: wishlist I think it would be nice if lirc provided a udev rules file. The upstream source provides 'contrib/lirc.rules' which contains,
KERNEL="lirc[0-9]*", NAME="lirc/%n" I guess this is an attempt to copy the devfs way of creating /dev/lirc/0 etc. On this webpage, http://www.g-loaded.eu/2006/01/10/how-to-configure-and-use-lirc/ I found, KERNEL=="lirc[0-9]*", NAME=="lirc%n", GROUP=="disk", MODE=="0660" KERNEL=="lirc0", SYMLINK=="lirc" which matches the device locations that most applications expect and sets a group and permissions. I'm not sure what group to use, maybe if you create an lirc group as suggested in #298021 you could use that. If not then maybe audio or video? (xmms, mplayer, mythtv all can use lirc so I don't know which is the most appropriate). I am not sure where this is supposed to be installed by the package /usr/share/doc/udev/README.Debian.gz has some hints). Maybe it should be contributed to /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.rules in the udev package or maybe lirc should deliver it's own and create a symlink in rules.d? (or it could just go in /usr/share/doc/lirc/examples/). Marco, (cc'd) Where do you think it should go?
