lirc (0.8.3-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * update swedish translation, thanks to Martin Bagge <email address hidden>
    (Closes: #491772).
  * add italian debconf translation, thanks to Vincenzo Campanella
    <email address hidden>.
  * silence LIRC_MODE_LIRCCODE log message, as it is not rate limited and
    tends to overflow syslog in case IR receivers get removed without
    stopping lirc or removing the configuration; this is a temporary
    band-aid for lenny and no long term solution (Closes: #500421).

lirc (0.8.3-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * remove dead code (modutils has only been used for kernel 2.4 and the
    affected code blocks weren't reachable since 0.8.3-1 anyways, as the
    conffile wasn't shipped in the first place).
  * conflict with makedev << 2.3.1-88, lirc either needs a fixed version or
    none at all (Closes: #477063).
  * 0.8.3-1 hasn't transitioned to testing yet, so keep the urgency at medium
    as it fixes several serious bugs (oops in lirc_i2c on kernel 2.6.25, FTBS
    against 2.6.26, missing module versions rejected by kernel >= 2.6.26,
    custom mknod replaced by proper makedev calls, if installed).

lirc (0.8.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Stefan Lippers-Hollmann ]
  * new upstream release 0.8.3 (Closes: #481649).
  * rediff patches:
    - 02_Makefile.in
    - 04_man_pages
    - 05_non_linux
    - 06_libtool_kfreebsd
  * drop patches merged upstream:
    - 16_kcompat-2.6.23
    - 17_kcompat-2.6.24
    - 20_kcompat-2.6.25
    - 19_enable-macmini-as-userspace-driver
  * remove local scope definition for variables in lirc.init.d following
    SUSv3, its current use for MODULES_MISSING and ARGS doesn't justify
    making use of the exceptions specified in Debian policy 10.4
    (Closes: #471422).
  * fix copy and paste error in lirc-modules-source.README.Debian.
  * lirc_i2c: fix kernel oops on 2.6.25, patch taken from upstream CVS.
  * change debconf defaults for lirc-modules-source:
    - drop lirc_gpio, it is affected by API changes in bttv and FTBS since
      2.6.23.
    - enable atiusb.
    - enable bt829.
    - enable cmdir.
    - enable igorplugusb.
    - enable imon.
    - enable it87.
    - enable mceusb/ mceusb2.
    - keep lirc_parallel disabled, it is not SMP safe.
    - enable sasem.
    - enable streamzap.
    - enable sir, keep the defaults at generic sir controller (other) port
      0x2f8 and irq 3, which seems to be supported by a short poll among
      notebook owners.
    - enable serial, keep defaulting to generic (home-brewed) IR receivers,
      change to ttyS0 (port 0x3f8, irq 4) as most concurrently sold systems
      only ship one serial port.
  * replace custom mknod usage by using makdev's newly added lirc support and
    add a versioned dependency on a fixed makedev version instead. This
    dependency can be relaxed to udev | makedev, once makedev (>= 2.3.1-88)
    has been shipped in a stable release. Given that Breaks support isn't
    usable until lenny+1, this conservative approach is the safer variant for
    etch --> lenny upgrades (Closes: #393575, #477063).
  * drop debian/lirc.config.in, which was added as a bandaid for #329897
    alltogether, neither it nor setup-driver.sh are used anywhere on the end
    user's system; this allows dropping the pre-dependency on dialog and
    lirc.config.md5sum as well.
  * add a sanity check to debian/rules' clean target to ensure that
    liblirclient0's pkg-config file is up to date.
  * add compatibility code for udev >= 0.117, avoid flag day changes or a hard
    dependency on udev; inspired by Scott James Remnant <email address hidden>
    (Closes: #456325).
  * restructure lirc-modules-source package to dump all module sources
    directly into the toplevel directory (omit upstream's Makefiles from
    module subdirectories) and replace custom toplevel Makefile with a simple
    in-kernel style buildsystem. This fixes symbol versioning for the kernel
    modules and, as a side effect, the clean target of the top-level Makefile
    and doesn't allow empty port/ IRQ settings.
    (Closes: #450521, #483089, #369076)
  * add compatibility patch for kernels >= 2.6.26, based on upstream CVS.
  * drop debian/lirc.modules, modutils is obsolete (kernel 2.4).
  * make lirc-modules-source compatible with linux-modules-extra-2.6:
    - use bzip2 to compress the source tarball.
    - change path names to correspond with the package name.
  * fix LIRC_IRQ redefinition.

  [ Matthew Johnson ]
  * Add pkg-config file (Closes: #421881)

  [ Sven Mueller ]
  * Add swedish translation (Closes: #483766)

  [ Matthew Johnson ]
  * Raise priority to medium since it fixes kernel-related bugs
