Package: lirc-modules-source
Version: 0.8.3-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

*** Please type your report below this line ***
lirc-modules-source completely fails to build kernel modules for kernels
2.6.27 and up.
The reason is a missing asm/semaphore.h. This file has been refactored to
linux/semaphore.h in 2.6.27

Upstream 0.8.4a release fixes this problem.

Thanks,
Raphael

Sorry, but kernel 2.6.27 is not in Debian yet, nor will it be anytime soon 
due to the lenny freeze, therefore I'm downgrading this bug to a non-RC 
severity. All lirc-modules-source submodules build against the amd64/ i386
kernels to be shipped in lenny and the ones I can test also work well, 
therefore failing to compile against a newer kernel version which isn't 
even in unstable or experimental) does not render the package unusable in
any of Debian's suites and cannot be RC (even less during a freeze).

This issue has already been fixed in the packaging svn r335[1] in october, 
but does not meet the the requirements for a freeze excemption for lenny
and therefore cannot be uploaded to unstable either.

> Upstream 0.8.4a release fixes this problem.

Sorry, due to the freeze I cannot promise any timely upload of lirc 0.8.3
(while the required patch is pretty straight forward and self contained, it
simply doesn't qualify) nor 0.8.4a (totally out of the question, even for 
sid as this affects a library with many rdepends and requires quite 
extensive packaging changes due to the newly added hal integration).

If you need a 2.6.27 compatible lirc 0.8.3 package now, I can refer you to 
[2], which reflects the current svn state of the Debian packaging, but is 
in no way an official Debian package.

Sorry, I forgot about the freeze :)
New severity is ok with me. Thanks for the explanation.

Google food:
Alternatively one can just link or copy linux/semaphore.h to  
asm/semaphore.h in the kernel headers. Then 0.8.3 modules compile again.

Linux 2.6.28-1 is now in the Debian NEW queue, and I've tried compiling
lirc 0.8.3 with it (with the semaphore.h fix, the result is kernel modules
that cause kernel oops'es for the module I use - mceusb2)...so consider
this a friendly reminder, I hope a recent lirc source package can be
uploaded as soon as possible after 2.6.28 enters the unstable repo :)

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

any reason why the svn packages Stefan posted are not yet available in
unstable?

I can confirm that at least the amd64 flavors of lirc and
liblircclient work, and lirc-modules-source built fine with
module-assistant against kernel 2.6.29.


Greetings,
Frank

Hi.

I can't compile any lirc module with m-a and kernel 2.6.29. I still
having the asm/semaphore.h. Copying the linux/semaphore.h to
asm/semaphore.h in the kernel headers does not work.

The problem remains in the new package linux-source-2.6.29 (2.6.29-5).
Should I report a new bug?

With

linux-image-2.6.29-2-686 (2.6.29-5)

linking semaphore.h in arch/x86/include/asm

it compiled fine

But when loading lirc_mceusb2 (debug=1),
it segaults (see attachment).

(Agreed the dirty linking of semaphore.h doesn't make
this segfault trace very significant, anyway ...)

Upstream has released lirc 0.8.5 which includes support for kernel
2.6.29.  All references to semaphore.h have been removed as far as I
can see.  Moving to 0.8.5 should fix this bug and make this package
compatible with the default kernel in unstable.
