Sorry, I do not have proper index pages.  The URLs you want are:

http://www.jsw.gen.nz/mythtv/lirc-ubuntu-18.04-install.sh
http://www.jsw.gen.nz/mythtv/lirc-ubuntu-18.04-install.sh

Search this mailing list for those file names to find the threads
discussing the problems with lirc and what my scripts fix.

This URL should give you a list of all the files in my web server's
mythtv directory:
