[arch-dev-public] News announcement for lirc 0.9.2
I would like to move lirc from [testing] to [extra] soon. Here is a draft news item ("Packaging changes in lirc 0.9.2"): For consistency with upstream naming, the lirc-utils package was renamed to lirc. The wpc8769l kernel drivers were dropped and can be obtained by installing [lirc-wpc8769l from `[unsupported]`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lirc-wpc8769l/). Note that 0.9.2 is a major release and comes along with several upstream and packaging changes. In particular, the `irexec.service` systemd unit was removed. Please edit and copy the template `/usr/share/lirc/contrib/irexec.service` if you want to keep using that service. Regards, Lukas

It would probably make more sense to say "from the AUR" at this point, since few users are versed in the history of [community]. I don't really think it can be be considered part of the AUR these days. FWIW, the wiki already moved away from that terminology: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Help:Style#AUR_packages
