Looks like it is working to me!
Now i have to figure out why I have no output using mode2, cat, etc to key presses on my /dev/lirc0.

Odd, not working for me...
I"m not sure what change you made.

I verified that i only had to add 'lirc' to 'provides=', and not to 'replaces='

Updated. Works for me. Please try and report back.

Hello,
I get stuck in a dependency loop when trying to install this package.
I think perhaps there is something not right with the PKGBUILD


Since lirc is pulled in as a dependency by libirman, it gets installed on the system as part of the initial makepkg -s


[dylan@storage ~]$ sudo pacman -Si libirman | grep "Depends On"
Depends On : glib

"[dylan@kodiarch lirc-git]$ makepkg -s

Once the package builds successfully.. and we try to install it, replacing the original lirc package, it doesn't work:

"

lirc-git should take the place of lirc for all packages depending on lirc, i believe.

the PKGBUILD included in AUR has:
provides=('lirc-utils')
conflicts=('lirc-utils' 'lirc')
replaces=('lirc-utils')

It seems from some testing and from the PKGBUILD wiki, 'lirc' should be in 'replaces' (indicating that installation of lirc-git should trigger immediate removal of lirc).

But that isn't enough it seems.

Adding 'lirc' to 'provides=' seems to resolve the problem.

provides=('lirc-utils' 'lirc')
conflicts=('lirc-utils' 'lirc')
replaces=('lirc-utils' 'lirc')

Hmm It may not need to be in 'replaces', based on the PKGBUILD wiki but just had a power failure and cannot test

('If providing an alternate version of an already existing package or uploading to the AUR, use the conflicts and provides arrays, which are only evaluated when actually installing the conflicting package.')

thoughts?
