Description Robert Scheck 2021-12-10 01:37:59 UTC

Description of problem:
Please build lirc for EPEL 9, because it's a dependency of the audacious-plugins package.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lirc-0.10.0-32.fc36

Actual results:
No lirc in EPEL 9.

Expected results:
lirc-0.10.0-32.el9 - or better ;-)

Additional info:
Please let me know if you are not interested in maintaining the package on EPEL 9 branch.

Comment 1 Sean Young 2021-12-10 09:07:49 UTC

Another option would be to make audacious-plugins not depend on lirc. If audacious-plugins
is using lirc for input from remotes, then most of the functionality has been supplanted by
IR decoding in-kernel, which can be configured with ir-keytable. This can use custom decoders
using BPF IR decoding.

Comment 2 Robert Scheck 2021-12-10 09:20:46 UTC

That is indeed also an option. As audacious-plugins uses lirc at EPEL 8 and at Fedora, I didn't investigate into other options, yet. I also didn't cross-check whether there are other applications which could integrate lirc as well or whether audacious-plugins would be the only consumer.

Comment 4 Robert Scheck 2022-06-28 00:02:16 UTC

Please branch and build lirc in epel9.

If you do not wish to maintain lirc in epel9, or do not think you will be able to do this in a timely manner, the EPEL Packagers SIG would be happy to be a co-maintainer of the package; please add the epel-packagers-sig group through https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/lirc/addgroup and grant it commit access, or collaborator access on epel* branches.

Comment 5 Robert Scheck 2022-07-09 00:13:23 UTC

Will you be able to branch and build lirc in epel9? The EPEL Packagers SIG would be happy to be a co-maintainer if you do not wish to build it on epel9.

Comment 6 Richard Shaw 2022-07-19 02:01:05 UTC

epel sig now has commit access. Is there a "person" I can assign for bugzilla?

Comment 7 Robert Scheck 2022-07-19 08:13:00 UTC

The epel-packagers-sig should be assignable.
