Please find, for review, the debconf templates and packages descriptions for the lirc source package.

This review will last from Thursday, September 06, 2007 to Sunday, September 16, 2007.

Please send reviews as unified diffs (diff -u) against the original
files. Comments about your proposed changes will be appreciated.

Your review should be sent as an answer to this mail.

When appropriate, I will send intermediate requests for review, with
"[RFRn]" (n>=2) as a subject tag.

When we will reach a consensus, I send a "Last Chance For
Comments" mail with "[LCFC]" as a subject tag.

Finally, the reviewed templates will be sent to the package maintainer
as a bug report, and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as
a subject tag.

_Description: lircmd should use the IntelliMouse protocol instead of IMPS/2
 The method lircmd uses to simulate a mouse is not compatible with IMPS/2
 protocol, so the IntelliMouse support has been added and is now the
 preferred protocol.
 .
 You ARE currently using lircmd with IMPS/2 protocol and are encouraged to
 update /etc/lirc/lircmd.conf and the configuration of any program which
 uses lircmd as a mouse to use IntelliMouse protocol.
 .
 NOTE: gpm will refuse to use lircmd as a mouse with IMPS/2 protocol.

_Description: Delete /var/log/lircd?
 LIRC now uses syslog as a logging mechanism. This means that
 /var/log/lircd is not anymore pertinent.
 .
 If you answer 'no' to this question /var/log/lircd will be left there and
 you will have to take care of it yourself.
