lirc upgrades stomp on configuration files

[dgatwood]

Mythbuntu seems to be doing everything in its power to stomp on my custom /etc/lirc configuration files at every possible opportunity. Whenever I run Mythbuntu control center, it insists on writing new configuration files, which are completely incorrect (lircd gets turned off, wrong transmitter---basically all the new settings are garbage). Similarly, every time I do a significant system upgrade, the updated packages (presumably the lirc package) stomp on them again.

I've resorted to just keeping a backup copy of the entire /etc/irc directory and "cp -r"-ing the thing every time it does this, but that's obnoxious. Config files should be sacrosanct, and doubly so for one that's as hard to get working correctly as the lircd config files are!

Configuration is 10.04.

We really do appreciate you opening this ticket to help improve Mythbuntu, but it needs to be closed for a number of reasons. The biggest one is that upstream believes this to be fixed in the latest version. Could you please verify if this issue still exists in the latest version?

Please do not let the closing of this ticket dissuade you from opening a new ticket if this (or any other) problem occurs with the newer versions.
