Subject: lircd 0.7.2: there's no hardware I can use and no peers are specified

Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2006 07:53:30 +0100

Package: lirc
Version: 0.7.2-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


After the upgrade to 0.7.2-2, lircd no longer starts on any of my systems:

lircd 0.7.2: there's no hardware I can use and no peers are specified

An strace shows that lricd does not try to access any config file, any
hardware device, nothing, so I assume this is a bug in lircd.

Downgrading to 0.7.1pre2-2 makes it work again.

Subject: lircd broken here also

Date: Sun, 19 Feb 2006 01:27:21 +1100

I see the same issue with lircd. When the init.d script runs it, I get
the following result:

tv:/etc/lirc# lircd --driver=Default
Driver `Default' not supported.
Supported drivers:
        null

debian/rules for lirc calls configure with "--with-driver=none" which
doesn't look right?

I recompiled with --with-driver=serial and it works for me now.

--with-driver=any failed to compile due to #error directives in the BTTV
driver.
