Thanks Zac. So this explains why if I set RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="no" that
I don't use it.
My question is how do the devices get created if TARBALL="no"? Is it
only the 50-udev.rules file that's responsible? I'm trying to debug
why none of my machines have the lirc/lirc0 devices like the Gentoo
Wiki's say they should.
Thanks,
Mark
