Bug Description
Binary package hint: lirc
I have a bzr branch with an updated lirc for 0.8.6 here:
https:/
And a PPA here:
https:/
I would like this considered for a FeatureFreeze exception to Karmic. This release fixed NUMEROUS issues with the iMON drivers along with other issues. I've been promoting my PPA for over a month now with very good feedback.
This package also cleans up the debian directory structure a lot, making support of new releases in the future much easier. It builds cleanly/
NOTE: Kernel updates to the LIRC modules will also be required to include this in Karmic, but I think it's well worth it for the vast improvement in HTPC user experience.

what do you mean with "Kernel updates to the LIRC modules will also be required"? Do we need to change the default kernel?
