Package: inputlirc Severity: wishlist
It would be useful if devices could be matched by name (maybe just part of the name/pattern matching) instead of having to specify device nodes. The device I'm interested in using inputlirc for, a DVB card's remote control, doesn't have symlinks in /dev/input/by-id and the number it's allocated for /dev/input/event* is subject to change eg by adding/removing other devices between reboots or even after a kernel upgrade. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages inputlirc depends on: ii libc6 2.10.2-5 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib inputlirc recommends no packages.
