Package: lirc
Version: 0.9.4c-9
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When using kernel 4.19.X and LIRC on Raspberry Pi,
gpio-ir should be used because lirc_dev is not officially installed.

However, pulse-space sequences generated by gpio-ir is slightly
different from that of lirc_dev.

Therefore, irrecord, mode2, irw do not work correctly with kernel 4.19
and gpio-ir
on Raspberry Pi.

I created a patch to modify the above problem.
This patch also works with earlier kernel and lirc_dev.
https://github.com/neuralassembly/raspi/blob/master/lirc-gpio-ir.patch

Could you please merge this patch into the deb package of LIRC?

Sincerely,

Takashi Kanamaru
