This driver didn't make the transition where all lirc kernel modules were moved from lirc to the kernel. It has been dropped from upstream.
These days the required changes are probably bigger, the internal kernel interfaces have evolved. Possible actions includes IMHO to close this as a wontfix or re-assign it to the kernel, since it's about a kernel driver. The lirc package is no longer involved in this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1012165 Title: lirc_wpc8769l is not being built due to a compile error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/1012165/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
