Bug 190669 – app-misc/lirc init script should provide lirc (for irtrans)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Mario Fetka (geos_one) 2007-08-29 17:16:14 UTC]

Requesting for exteding the init script from lirc to add an "provide lirc"

why?

in the tree are now 2 lirc compatible servers lircd/irtrans-irserver

by adding such an entry to both would solve #190285
this way all packages like vdr/mythtv/xine/.... would only need to depend on lirc.

Reproducible: Always

Just stick "provide lircd" in irtrans-irserver and be done with it. No special renaming or changing needing to be done. Because provide $NAME_OF_SCRIPT, is already implied. So technically, the lircd init script provides lircd.

I'll refrain from closing this until Matthias comments.

take a look at comment 3 of #190285
as it shows this (added provide lircd to irtrans-server) will result in:
"*  Cannot add provide 'lircd', as a service with the same name exists!"

i think you got it wrong:
the idea was to extend both scripts with "provide lirc" that other scripts can depend on so "no special renaming" of the lircd init script is needed
