Yep, its me, but its going into Fedora, not RPM Fusion. There were a
few legal hurdles to clear (the IguanaWorks folks just rewrote part
of their license agreement to satisfy FSF and Fedora needs). Now I
just need to update the iguanaIR package I've got under review with
the updated license text, and we should finally be able to get that
into Fedora, and subsequently, I can rebuild the lirc packages with
iguanaIR support.
