Created attachment 201254 [details] incomplete ebuild mmm, how about the ebuild itself. After posting this bug I tried going into the tmp folder to build manually and couldn't find any source. That is when I looked at the ebuild only to find half of it. How this made it into portage is beyond me. There is no source link, no unpack, no install... I'm no expert, but I think we need that stuff. I was going to try to hack together an ebuild but being I don't know what I'm doing it hasn't happened yet. I do have the location of the new source, which is now at 3.1. http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gnome-lirc-properties/0.3/
Created attachment 201342 [details] proposed ebuild Here is my hack. There are some bugs to work out but I wanted to get this up ASAP. A few notes: -I did not touch any of the dependancies from the 0.2.8 ebuild -After the first successful compile, the program would not start due to /etc/hardware.conf file not found. After creating, it would start. I ultimately moved the location to /etc/lirc as having a hardware.conf file in /etc did not seem intuitive. I'm not sure if this could have any implications when interfacing the the master lirc program(I only mention this because after some very brief testing I get a could not initialize hardware error during the custom configuration learn function). -I have LIRC_DEVICES=all and it takes eons for the program to start, all the while spitting out messages of the following nature" ...

So it turns out that I don't need lirc for my computer as reciever outputs normal keycodes and all I need to do is edit the definitions. This means I can't test the ebuild. In reference to my previous post, it looks like there would be implications with isolating the configuration files to /etc/lirc as lirc uses /etc/lircd.conf. So, we'll either have to put up with having lircd.conf, lircd.conf.gnome, & harware.conf in /etc, or something will need patched to make everything coherent and mesh together. I'll leave this up to the maintainers. In its current state I don't believe the proposed ebuild will work correctly with lirc. The icon not showing up in the control center is only a reboot issue. It is, however, placed in the gnome menu inconsistant with the other control center icons. It's by itself in the "Administration" menu while everything else is in "Preferences" menu. This may just be a gnome versioning issue. I am using 2.26.3. So that's all, I hope I've contributed something.
