I ran into the problem of lirc not compiling for 2.6.16, but instead of patching 0.8.0 (bug 127122) to work, I put together this ebuild that will build lirc from cvs. It works for me here, and yes - it compiles on 2.6.16.

Created attachment 82859 [details] The ebuild for building lirc from cvs I created a new directory called app-misc/lirc-cvs (like the other cvs ebuilds), and put this ebuild in there.
Sorry, we try to avoid live cvs ebuilds as much as possible due to out policy. Use this in your overlay or submit to some third-party repository (like fluidportage). Thanks.
All right, I'll do that. Thanks for the info - I wasn't aware of the policy.
