LIRC is on my private list of things to do when I get a round tuit. It
was easily buildable against 2.4, but I didn't have enough time to test
it against 2.6 and having got a DVD player for free with the new cell
phone didn't help either ;-). If I find enough time, the plan is a
driver package akin to the nvidia drivers from livna which is easily
rebuildable for the installed kernel (and -devel) packages. But I'm not
a LIRC developer, I won't drive this upstream and I certainly don't make
any promises regarding when this will happen.
