Having LIRC in FC4 would really help. It's loaded into the kernel so it's difficult to build separately which is why I think it should be included in FC4. Anyone running MythTV, tvtime, Xine, mplayer, etc.. will appreciate it.

then .... why did nobody submit it for the kernel.org kernel yet ??? that's generally step 1 to get such things into the fedora kernel.

Many don't need more than the lirc daemon, it can get data from the input layer these days.... so e.g. my bttv remote show up at /dev/input/even0 (or event 2 if mouse and keyboard are plugged in... bah), which lirc can handle just fine.

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.
