Latest upstream release:  [14-Oct-2015]: lirc-0.9.3a

Ebuild for lirc-0.9.2a-r1 is here: http://data.gpo.zugaina.org/benklop/app-misc/lirc/
supports systemd and compiles against libftdi-1.* on my system (see my bug #566852) but drops support selecting which drivers to build via LIRC_DEVICES.

Is anyone willing to proxy maintain this package?

Hey guys. I'm newbie in ebuild development, but I created ebuild for lirc-0.9.3a that works at gentoo-sources kernel 4.1.15. (Because ebuilds for lirc I found at known overlays are piece of crap.)
I'm not sure if it's allowed to publish external links in here, but you may find all required files in here https://github.com/developersu/loperOverlay/tree/master/app-misc/lirc . I hope it will help someone.

Do you want to proxy maintain this? :/

[Comment 8 Richard Freeman 2016-04-13 14:09:55 UTC]

Created attachment 430326 [details]
updated lirc ebuild

I have tweaked this ebuild.  I still need to test it.  I don't mind proxy maintaining this for you, or possibly co-maintaining it.  I'll be hosting this on my rich0 overlay (in layman) as well until I'm sure all the kinks are worked out.

Note that I renamed the init.d script to include the version stamp.

[Comment 9 Craig Andrews 2016-06-27 21:41:37 UTC]

I've submitted a pull request, based on the work of Richard Freeman and loper, that bumps lirc to 0.9.4 (the current latest version).
