[Alec Leamas <1443590@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am the upstream maintainer. Upstream is now at 0.9.4; the lag is
becoming a larger problem over time.

There is a debian packaging available upstream. A slightly revised
version is attached (size permitting), adopted for xenial. Is there a
way to have this reviewed and eventually  the  Ubuntu official
packaging?

The normal path to make this first in Debian i basically blocked. See
ubuntu-devel-discuss archives for May.

  Not updated to latest upstream

Bug description:
  I am filing the same bug against Ubuntu as Alec Leamas (upstream lirc
  maintainer) did against Debian:

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=777199

  ===begin===
  The lirc sources used (0.9.0-pre1) is now very old (2011), lagging two
  major and several minor releases behind upstream.

  I'm filing this in my capacity as the upstream maintainer. The very old
  sources used by Debian are becoming a problem also for us, since it
  makes a substantial part of the user base using sources we don't
  maintain any more.

  I'm perfectly aware that the decision to update, to what and when, is up
  to the Debian maintainers. That said, if I as the upstream could make
  anything to make an update easier, please let me know.
