--- Begin Message ---Package: irda-utils Version: 0.9.18-12 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, The manpage of irattach mentions an old driver (smc-ircc) which is no longer distributed in the irda-utils package, while the newer driver that replaces it (smsc-ircc2) is not even listed in the manpage. People installing irda-utils are befuddled by the apparent incompleteness of the irda-utils package, which installs correctly, whereas irattach never finds smc-ircc and exits in error. Considering that a) some people might still have an old installation of irda-utils built with smc-ircc; b) most documentation that can be found on-line, especially the "linux infrared HOWTO" by Werner Heuser, was written at a time when smc-ircc was the standard driver, but will be updated to reflect changes in the distribution package at best very slowly, if at all; we suggest to update the manpage for irattach(8) as follows: REPLACE: --- smc-ircc SMC IrCC controller driver (options: ircc_dma, ircc_irq). This chipset is used by e.g.: Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook 635t Sony PCG-505TX --- WITH: --- smc-ircc, smsc-ircc2 SMC IrCC controller driver (options: ircc_dma, ircc_irq). This chipset is used by e.g.: Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook 635t Sony PCG-505TX Current versions of the package irda-utils use smsc-ircc2; older versions rely upon smc-ircc. --- This change minimizes the editing work required to bring the manpage up to date. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages irda-utils depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.49 ii kmod 9-3 ii libc6 2.13-38+deb7u1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.33.12+really2.32.4-5 ii libpci3 1:3.1.9-6 ii udev 175-7.2 Versions of packages irda-utils recommends: ii openobex-apps 1.5-2 ii setserial 2.17-47 Versions of packages irda-utils suggests: pn libgsmme1c102 <none> pn liblinc1 <none> pn obexftp <none> -- debconf information excluded
