In Fedora 22 /usr/share/lirc/contrib has various handy-ish things like 

60-irc-rules:

# Installing this udev rule will make the /dev/lirc* devices accessible
# for users in the group "lirc". To enable, copy to /etc/udev/rules.d or
# /usr/lib/udev/rules.d.
KERNEL=="lirc[0-9]*", SUBSYSTEM=="lirc", GROUP="lirc", MODE="0660"


and 99-remote-control-lirc.rules:

# Installing this udev rule will disable kernel IR handling, routing
# everything to lirc. To enable, copy to /etc/udev/rules.d  or
# /usr/lib/udev/rules.d.
SUBSYSTEM=="rc", ATTR{protocols}="lirc"


I'm learning to look at `locate contrib` for interesting bits after my own migration.
