Eventually I give up and build & install lirc manually. If you mix debian packages and raw lirc releases watch out for the location of the config files - debian puts them in /etc/lirc but the unpackaged Makefile puts them in /etc. I use /etc/lirc as the master and use soft links to keep the unpackaged stuff in sync.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Also, lirc-modules-source puts its source in /usr/src/modules so dpkg-makekpkg will see it up and make module debs for you when you build your kernel. Well, it would if lirc-modules-source worked. Anyhow that /usr/src/modules thing is now deprecated, you're supposed to build module packages after your kernel build using a new tool but I don't think lirc has been packaged for it. Follow the endless linked READMEs for more non-information.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I last upgraded my kernel in November and things were a mess lirc-wise. I was hoping lirc had sorted itself out by now but I guess not. Other than this peccadillo debian has always been smooth sailing for me so just hold your nose and type make install as root.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>- George</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV></BODY></HTML>
