jason 156 Report post Posted November 17, 2014 hmmm, maybe give this a shot: I guess my rpm isn't working? I'll have to try. The release candidate is the same as the release version. You can use that for now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's the latest RPM I could find too. It's old and I got the same errors you did. Here's what I did to create a working (and current) version: Download the latest DEB file that matches your architecture here: http://apt.flirc.tv/arch. For example, for 64 bit at this time that's http://apt.flirc.tv/arch/x64/binary/flirc_1.3.2-1_amd64.deb. Convert it to an RPM with alien: sudo alien -r flirc_1.3.2-1_amd64.deb Remove the unnecessary and conflicting entries: rpmrebuild -p --change-spec-files="grep -i flirc" flirc-1.3.2-2.x86_64.rpm That command will create a new rpm that should install cleanly and seems to work fine for me. I'm on Fedora 21 64-bit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ptrax 1 Report post Posted January 4, 2015 Thanks, Couldn't the flirc admin upload the converted version Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yawor 84 Report post Posted January 4, 2015 Thanks, Couldn't the flirc admin upload the converted version He probably could, but then he would need to keep rpm version up to date himself and this would probably require to keep an RPM based distribution to prepare the package or even keep a yum repository. I think there is nothing wrong with third party repackaging and keeping it as external repositories. For example Flirc software is already available in AUR which is Arch Linux User Repository and have a maintainer there and its going into official Arch Linux repositories sooner or later.

Or you can just unpack the deb. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrNice 1 Report post Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) I'd be happy to try the latest release candidate but unfortunately I can't find it. I am not very skilled in that subject but I can follow some directives. This link should be updated to lead directly to the download page. https://flirc.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201059883-I-want-the-latest-beta So could you provide a link to this release? Could you as well tell the diffrence between the 3 releases? (See my previous post) EDit: I found it: Back door is open now Version: v1.3.2-rc.2 Edited February 18, 2015 by MrNice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrNice 1 Report post Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Now I need to know what to do. Best should be to have an amd64 debian package. --------------------------------------------------------------- After reading how to build a package, I thing I can't do it in a easy way as I run Fedora and not a Debian distro. So I need help, someone to provide a debian package. Many, many thanks. Edited February 19, 2015 by MrNice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrNice 1 Report post Posted March 5, 2015 I Jason, I did a new test with the debian flirc_1.3.6-1_amd64.deb Changed it to rpm with alien then tried to install I got the sames errors: Running transaction check Running transaction test Transaction check error: file / from install of flirc-1.3.6-2.x86_64 conflicts with file from package filesystem-3.2-28.fc21.x86_64 file /usr/bin from install of flirc-1.3.6-2.x86_64 conflicts with file from package filesystem-3.2-28.fc21.x86_64 Let me know if you need more tests Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knutsondc 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2015 I run Fedora 21, 64 bit. As of today, the rpm package on the downloads page is still broken, but I was able to install from the flirc_1.3.6-1_amd64.deb file in the way dbrand666 described above. It'd sure give users a greater feeling of confidence if the packages on the downloads page would work "out of the box." Having said that, I should also say that, once installed, the program worked perfectly; setting up my Flirc on my laptop to get my Harmony One remote talking to my MythTV system was very easy and Flirc "just worked" when plugged into the MythTV box.
