Comment 2 for bug 432678

[01:04:05] <superm1> sistpoty, re bug 432678 there is a kernel component that needs to be updated too
[01:04:16] <superm1> it's been on my TODO for the last week or so to fully investigate
[01:04:27] <superm1> but it's a daunting task. i always shrug whenever i need to touch LIRC
[01:05:13] <superm1> if you can make a call in terms of the FFe, i'll sort out the technical details if you lean towards yes though
[01:05:35] <sistpoty> superm1: thanks for the info
[01:05:56] <sistpoty> superm1: basically having you sort out details is what makes me lean very much towards it
[01:06:32] <sistpoty> superm1: the FFe only sounded as if we'd need to make changes to the stock kernel of which noone is aware yet ;)
[01:06:51] <superm1> which is true
[01:07:02] <superm1> there is a LIRC patchset that sits on top of the kernel
[01:07:51] <sistpoty> superm1: will that patchset work with an older lirc?
[01:07:58] <superm1> no it won't
[01:08:09] <superm1> so it's either new LIRC + new patches to kernel
[01:08:15] <superm1> or stay with the current stuff
[01:08:49] <sistpoty> superm1: hm, are you ok if I'll elevate this to ubuntu-release then?
[01:09:25] <superm1> sistpoty, yeah however you'd like to do it. i'll clone a kernel and try to look into the technical details over the weekend
