Comment 3 Brandon Hale (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-08-22 08:42:44 UTC 
Please note that as a general rule "live" cvs ebuilds are no longer accepted into Portage. If cvs contains fixes or features not available in the newest release, it is preferable to create a snapshot tarball from a cvs checkout.
For a repository of "live" cvs ebuilds, see breakmygentoo.net, but note that this site is unofficial and totally unsupported by Gentoo (eg, dont post bugs here if it breaks)

sorry, policy changed

As app-misc/lirc often breaks with new kernel versions and bugs last here unnecessarily long, I request reconsidering the introduction of app-misc/lirc live ebuild. Such an ebuild would especially be useful to live kernel version users.

media-tv, would you mind if I committed the live ebuild (keyword-masked) to the tree, and set myself as a maintainer for it (with restrict metadata.xml keyword)?
Comment 8 Adam Stylinski 2010-11-16 23:44:35 UTC 
I would especially appreciate a 9999 build as for amd64 lirc 0.8.7 does not work currently with kernel >=2.6.36.  Lirc website is offering a snapshot of their cvs up for grabs, I suggest a ebuild to be made for it.  I may look into it myself and post the ebuild here in the next coming days.
Comment 9 Adam Stylinski 2010-11-17 02:40:04 UTC 
Did it: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=345833

Not exactly a live ebuild but it's the latest.
Comment 10 Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2011-06-19 17:22:42 UTC 
Ok, we already agreed that media-tv doesn't want to put live ebuilds in the tree and nowadays neither do I. If anyone is interested in such a ebuild, one can be found in my devoverlay along with other live ebuilds of mine (layman -a mgorny).
