[Bug 941883] New: LIRC version is missing irman module and is really old
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=941883 Bug ID: 941883 Summary: LIRC version is missing irman module and is really old Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Factory Version: 201505* Hardware: All OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: DaAwesomeP@outlook.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- There are two major problems with the LIRC module. The first is that it is missing the irman module. In order to get the irman module LIRC must be compiled with libirman (available from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/lirc/files/libirman/0.4.5/). However, libirman is not currently a package in OpenSUSE. I'm currently using the packages from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/wolfi323:/irman/openSUSE_13.... and they work fine, but they have the other problem below. Forum discussion about that here: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/508988-LIRC-missing-irman-driver The other problem, the same as the one that I just submitted a bug for in OpenSUSE 13.2, is that LIRC is really old. It's at version 0.9.0, which is not supported anymore. The latest version is 0.9.3. I discovered this when I needed to receieve support via SourceForge about LIRC: https://sourceforge.net/p/lirc/tickets/120/ If this were fixed for Factory (both compiling with libirman and the version), would I be able to do a vendor switch and subscribe to it in 13.2 (what I currently use)? I can't see anything that would make it incompatible. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Well, 0.9.0 would appear to have a very significant bug as seen here: https://sourceforge.net/p/lirc/tickets/120/ It's effectively nonfunctional.
As for the irman part, that can be done without bumping to 0.9.0. It was done successfully here: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:wolfi323:irman This driver is very standard, but it requires another (new) package to compile. There is https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/hardware/libirman now properly

How can I get and subscribe to the Tumbleweed version on 13.2?
you can either change your distro to factory or add repository vdr/lirc to your system (once it is contains libirman and updated lirc) As for maint update I will create one if lirc is almost useless in 13.2 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

As for maint update I will create one if lirc is almost useless in 13.2 I'll do that when it's ready. Thank you. I went ahead and made my own version in the meantime (I was interested in using OBS anyways). I branched from vdr and wolfi323 to make a 0.9.2a version with irman: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:DaAwesomeP:lirc-irman/lirc -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
