Updated lirc package fixes bugs.

Publication date: 07 Mar 2014
Modification date: 07 Mar 2014
Type: bugfix
Affected Mageia releases : 4

Description

This update fixes several issues in the LIRC packages on Mageia 4:
A service configuration file is added as /etc/sysconfig/lirc, allowing the
LIRC driver and device to be configured properly, without losing changes
after each upgrade. Old settings should be automatically migrated in most
cases. (Mageia bug #9528)

Kernel protocol decoders that interfere with using LIRC can now be
disabled on a per-device basis by using the LIRC_IR_DEVICE configuration
directive in /etc/sysconfig/lirc or for all remote control devices by
installing the new lirc-disable-kernel-rc subpackage. Most LIRC users
should be fine by just installing the new package, without needing to use
LIRC_IR_DEVICE. (Mageia bug #1265)

An old unneeded incorrect non-working udev rule causing a warning log
message has been removed. LIRC device files are located in /dev/lircX.
(Mageia bug #10537)

Additionally, several minor fixes to the systemd unit files, LIRC tools
and the LIRC drivers have been added.
