Needed for kernel 2.6.25, please cc arches.
ccing arches as there has been no reaction from maintainers for more than one week...go for it for Kernel 2.6.25
x86 stable
ppc stable
amd64 stable
ppc64, the old versions will be gone and you'll lose the stable keyword unless this is handled. portaudio v18 is leaving the building.
It does not compile for ppc64 64UL. powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -shared .libs/lirc_client.o -m -Wl,-soname -Wl,liblirc_client.so.0 -o .libs/liblirc_client.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/gcc/powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld: unrecognised emulation mode: -Wl,-soname Supported emulations: elf64ppc elf32ppclinux elf32ppc elf32ppcsim collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [liblirc_client.la] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-misc/lirc-0.8.3-r2/work/lirc-0.8.3/tools' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-misc/lirc-0.8.3-r2/work/lirc-0.8.3' make: *** [all] Error 2 Perhaps we want to let it go and then USE it out where appropriate.
Uh.. Since the old versions won't compile against recent kernels, and now there is this portaudio blocking maybe it's time to use.mask lirc on ppc64 profile? See, http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/misc/rindex/app-misc/lirc Or did you try the latest lirc, maybe it works?
Closing this one, as stabilisation for a newer version is handled in 253920
