Description Matthias Schwarzott gentoo-dev

All versions of vdr do hardcode lirc socket path "/dev/lircd", but it was changed with lirc-0.8.6 to /var/run/lirc/lircd.

Two possible solutions:
1. Let gentoo-vdr-scripts check for /var/run/lirc/lircd and then run vdr with --lirc=/var/run/lirc/lircd.
2. Patch vdr to check both pathes.

The new -r1 of Lirc 0.8.6 creates a symlink to the old socket location as a workaround...
