I've been trying to build the CVS source for Ubuntu and noticed that the Ubuntu package includes a whole bunch of patches that aren't in CVS for whatever reason. Has anyone brought up merging in the Debian/Ubuntu patches into CVS yet? I'd be happy to do the work and send in a set of diffs or just merge it straight into CVS. Whatever is easiest. I'm thinking it would make sense to get as much of this into 0.8.5 as possible. Many of the patches are simply adding/removing remotes and updating the doc/lirc.hwdb file (which says it's auto generated but I can't tell by what) Here's a fairly complete list of the things that don't seem to be Debian/Ubuntu specific: 1. hauppauge_pvr150 transmit_support.dpatch by Mario Limonciello <su...@ub...> - Provides transmitter support via lirc_pvr150 module 2. lirc-gpio.dpatch by Mario Limonciello <su...@ub...> - Switch all GPIO based drivers to use dev/input interface (though I can't quite figure out how doc/lirc.hwdb is generated) 3. serial_igor.dpatch by Mario Limonciello <su...@ub...> - Create a new kernel module for igor serial, based upon old serial module 4. atiusb.dpatch by Mario Limonciello <su...@ub...> - Make ATI Remotes have their own menu item and add snapstream support (LP: #140060) 5. hauppauge_novat_500.dpatch by Mario Limonciello <su...@ub...> - Provide support for Hauppauge Nova T 500 6. pad2keys.dpatch by Mario Limonciello <su...@ub...> - For pad2keys imon support (LP: #153184). (this one could be a tricky merge with the other lirc_imon changes... Might even be included already). 7. remove_md8800.dpatch by Mario Limonciello <su...@ub...> - Remove remote for Medion MD8800 8. freecom_dvbt.dpatch by Mario Limonciello <su...@ub...> - Adds support for a freecom dvb-t card (LP: #152539). 9. transmitter_lircd.conf.dpatch by Mario Limonciello <su...@ub...> - Add support to preconfigure transmitters off the bat 10. irrecord_resume_support.dpatch by Mathias Hasselmann - Adds resume support to irrecord (LP: #197493) 11. medion_md1_remote.dpatch by Mario Limonciello <su...@ub...> - Add support for the Medion MD1-NBC Remote (LP: #192392) 12. hauppauge_hvr_1100.dpatch by Mario Limonciello <su...@ub...> - Add support for the Hauppauge HVR-1100 Remote (LP: #203493) 13. radioshack_15_2116_remote.dpatch by Mario Limonciello <su...@ub...> - Add support for radioshack remote 15_2116 14. asus_mycinema_remote.dpatch by Mario Limonciello <su...@ub...> - Add support for ASUS Mycinema P7131 remote (LP: #190018) 15. nebula_digitaltv_remote.dpatch by Mario Limonciello <su...@ub...> - Add support for Nebula Digitv remote (LP: #164867) 16. general_deviniput.dpatch by Mario Limonciello <su...@ub...> - Add generic devinput.conf for usage on remotes w/ devinput support. (LP: #235811) 17. remove_extra_tekram.dpatch by Mario Limonciello <su...@ub...> - Remove extra occurrence in lirc.hwdb. Causes failures (LP: #211566) 18. msi_tv_anywhere.dpatch by Mario Limonciello <su...@ub...> - Add support for MSI TV@anywhere Master Remote (LP: #241830) 19. encore_enltv.dpatch by Mario Limonciello <su...@ub...> - Adds support for Encore ENLTV Remote (LP: #274087) Let me know how I should proceed. Thanks!! Jeremy |

I'm not even sure if all drivers really are available as dev/input on new kernels, but LIRC also can be installed on old kernels where the gpio driver is the right one. The patch rather should be to the documentation explaining when to choose the dev/input driver and put the dev/input driver prominently in the TV cards section. > 3. serial_igor.dpatch by Mario Limonciello <su...@ub...> - > Create a new kernel module for igor serial, based upon old serial > module Is the only difference the default value for the "type" parameter? > 4. atiusb.dpatch by Mario Limonciello <su...@ub...> - Make ATI > Remotes have their own menu item and add snapstream support (LP: > #140060) This has to go into setup.data. > 5. hauppauge_novat_500.dpatch by Mario Limonciello > <su...@ub...> - Provide support for Hauppauge Nova T 500 This is a devinput config file.

Thanks!! Submit whatever you think still makes sense. I currently only see the irrecord patch. Christoph |
