GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 536811
Remove use of --resume
Last modified: 2008-09-29 21:25:07 UTC
As per http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1941922&group_id=5444&atid=305444 --resume shouldn't be used anymore. As we already require 0.8.4 (for the include support), we can remove the --resume checks on irrecord.
Created attachment 112214 [details] [review] Remove --resume
This bug requires the patch from bug 532606 to require a newer lirc though.
2008-06-30 Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net> * configure.ac: Remove "--resume" check * gnome_lirc_properties/backend.py: Remove use of the "--resume" flag for irrecord flags, as irrecord correctly resumes sessions from lirc 0.8.4 onwards (Closes: #536811)
There doesn't seem to be a lirc 0.8.4 release yet, so I don't understand how we can depend on it: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5444
Either ask Christof to do a new release, or ask Mario to integrate the patch in Debian/Ubuntu's lirc. FWIW, you're also relying on 0.8.4 code for the include support, and many other things. Backing off and waiting for it to fix itself isn't the way to go.
OK. I have asked on the lirc mailing list.
Is there any reasons that's still opened?
There is still no lirc 0.8.4, right?
Indeed...
Yeah, as you say above, we are already depending on unreleased lirc code, so let's just do that a little more. It looks like lirc won't have predictable releases any time soon so distros will continue to ship code in progress, with patches. It seems that you already committed this patch in June anyway.
