It doesn't work here :( Now with kernel 2.6.13.1

Package: lirc-modules-source
Version: 0.7.1pre2-9
Tags: patch
Followup-For: Bug #326672

I'm experiencing exactly the same problem with kernel 2.6.13.2
using the `lirc_serial' driver. The following kernel messages are
generated upon trying to load the relevant modules:

lirc_dev: Unknown symbol class_simple_device_add
lirc_dev: Unknown symbol class_simple_destroy
lirc_dev: Unknown symbol class_simple_device_remove
lirc_dev: Unknown symbol class_simple_create
lirc_serial: Unknown symbol lirc_unregister_plugin
lirc_serial: Unknown symbol lirc_register_plugin

This problem is due to a sysfs interface change in kernel 2.6.13
and has been fixed upstream (in version 0.7.2).

An interim solution would be to replace the files `drivers/kcompat.h'
and `lirc_dev/lirc_dev.c' with their respective versions from upstream
version 0.7.2. The attached patch resembles exactly these changes and
results in perfectly working modules for kernels above and below version
2.6.13.

I don't know why this bug is still marked as done. It should be reopened
or upload a package with this patch or a new lirc upstream version.

Package: lirc
Version: 0.7.1pre2-11
Followup-For: Bug #326672

the current version of lirc seems to fails to load modules also with
kernel 2.6.14. I tried version 0.7.3pre1 (not debian of course) and
everything seems to work fine.

Lirc packaging is going through a major rewrite, with invaluable
assistance from Hector (<email address hidden>).

We are still considering sereral issues, but lirc is basically being
repackaged almost from scratch, being migrated to module-assistant,
upgraded to latest upstream version, and we expect major improvements.

Of course, all this is going to take some time. But looking at lirc the
way it is now is a major waste of time. Please bear with us while we
keep working on this.
