[Slackbuilds-users] gxine/lirc breaks Slackware

[Jeremy Hansen]

That file was updated after the release of lirc used on SBo. It does not
contain that command.

This is the version of the file included with the version on SBo.

https://sourceforge.net/p/lirc/git/ci/5914451b1bc739713da22f12639ee6cf5ebcee08/tree/contrib/60-lirc.rules

David doesn't seem to be using the version of lirc on SBo and updated it
without telling the distro he updated it and then complained it was broken.
Go figure...

I am the maintainer of lirc (only because it was unmaintained and it was a
hard dependency of kodi at the time). I haven't updated it due to reports
of v0.10 breaking a lot of people's setups.

All that being said, I do not use lirc, so if someone else who does use it
wants to maintain it, I'm happy to relinquish maintainership.
