Title:
  Not updated to latest upstream

Status in LIRC:
  New
Status in lirc package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

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.
