It is a bit premature, but users reported failures with some drivers and 2.6.29 so we should go for it.
Other drivers on the other hand don't work with 2.6.29...so wait for .30 or .31
Bug sat in front of the monitor...x86 already stable

ppc64, you had some problems on 230792 and 209552, please come back to them.
+ 11 Jul 2009; <chainsaw@gentoo.org> lirc-0.8.5.ebuild: + Marked stable on AMD64 for bug #275872; compile-tested on a dual Opteron + 2354. No IR-capable hardware but utilities tested and working.
ppc stable
These bugs ( #312691 and #325721 ) are interesting.
This fails to build for ppc64 the same way as the old versions, as do newer versions. It may be best to just use.mask lirc for ppc64.
lirc USE flag mask for both userlands on PPC64 and keywords dropped.
