This file says > "Distributed under the LGPL version 2.1." > > Please include the Iguanaworks USB IR Transceiver. http://iguanaworks.net/ [...] There are two possibilities: - packaging iguanair in Debian, so lirc can build-depend on it - getting full iguanair support merged into upstream lirc (with all headers and userspace support tools; lirc upstream is very active, but iguanair might be a little too large/ different for that) Given that I have no access to this hardware, I can't do either and won't carry an untested (always outdated) Debian-only patch for it in our lirc packages. Assuming iguanair gets packaged and uploaded to Debian, I'd happily build-depend on it, but someone needs to actually maintain/ take care of the needed bits and pieces for this kind of hardware. If you'd like to respond, please CC me and [email protected], because by reassigning this bug to the existing RFP for iguanair, any further messages to this bug aren't on our radar anymore.
