[Pkg-lirc-maint] Bug#448637: lirc: Driver `macmini' not supported

[Tino Keitel]

Package: lirc
Version: 0.8.2-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

lircd 0.8.2 contains a driver called "macmini". It is also mentioned in
NEWS.gz, but I can not use it:

$ sudo lircd -o /dev/lircd -c localhost -n -H macmini -d /dev/usb/hiddev0 -P
/var/run/lircd.pid /etc/lirc/lircd-apple.conf
Driver `macmini' not supported.
Supported drivers:
        accent
        alsa_usb
        asusdh
        atilibusb
        audio_alsa
        bte

A lirc 0.8.2 built from source worked fine.
