[Pkg-lirc-maint] Bug#780062: lircrcd segfaults

[Alec Leamas]

This is resolved upstream. The reason is that lircrcd (and some others)
is using select(2) and related macros which has limitations when the
file descriptors becomes > 1024. Which they eventually becomes on a
long-running server.

Since this is fixed upstream, I'd say that this bug is blocked on
#777199 - Not updated to latest upstream.

There are test packages for debian available upstream; you might want to
give them a chance. However, wait until the review is completed and the
packaging is available on a separate branch.
