I don't think our immediate requirement is configuration guis and the such. Our immediate requirement is a better-than-modules-assistant (i.e not having to build and install from source) method of getting lirc drivers. While I'm on the subject, why is m-a so immature? I mean compared to DKMS which does all of the rebuilding for you behind the scenes so that as a user you don't have to know how to build kernel modules? If M-A were at that level of integration then it would be acceptable to use a source distributed package.
