[Pkg-lirc-maint] Bug#424912: lircd is started although START_LIRCMD=false is in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf

[Achim Lobbert]

Package: lirc
Version: 0.8.0-9.2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

File /etc/lirc/hardware.conf contains an entry to disable starting of lirc:

    #Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
    START_LIRCMD=false

but even when uncommenting the 'START_LIRCMD=false' lircd starts because
of a small error in /etc/init.d/lirc . The following conditional 

    if $START_LIRCD; then

is incorrect and should be corrected to

    if [ "$START_LIRCD" == "true" ]; then

The attached patch should correct this minor issue.
