So here is a good compromise suggested by Mauro.
1. We add the following to the lirc.h uapi header.
#define LIRC_CAN_NOTIFY_DECODE 0
#define LIRC_CAN_SET_REC_FILTER 0
The code would do "if (x & 0)" or alike, so I'm not sure this won't
result in a warning. But as soon as that thing compiles, I don't really
care much. If it produces no warning, in fact, the code could be
optimized away out thanks to "& 0".
Just looked up those defs in the debian code search, only lirc and
v4l-utils care about the defines. ANd the latter seems to define their
own copies.
2. Since lirc daemon is unmaintained, I am happy to take on maintainership.
This may require forking, depending on what the maintainer says.
How does that sound?
Great.
thanks,
