LIRC_POSTINSTALL(1)

💖 LIRC_POSTINSTALL 💖

okay bestie, so this is lirc-postinstall from section 1 of the manual — it's the lirc postinstall configuration moment, and honestly it's giving "the final touch-up before everything goes live." 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

lirc-postinstall — lirc postinstall configuration

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

lirc-postinstall <config.py>

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• config.py — bestie this is the lirc config.py file, and normally it's chilling at /usr/share/lirc/python-pkg/lirc/config.py. Like, that's where it typically gets installed. Inside it? All the lirc installation paths. iconic. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So lirc-postinstall goes around doing all the little tasks that lowkey have to happen either on the target system itself and/or using the final installation paths. It's the main character of the setup finale. 👑

The generated data it produces includes the driver table and the external plugins documentation. periodt.

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

• PYTHON — the Python interpreter it uses. defaults to python3, no cap. 🐍
• DESTDIR — the common prefix for all installation paths, typically the one you gave to make install. 🫶

💀 NOTES 💀

okay so listen — this script patches some files with absolute configuration paths. Which means… the installed package cannot be relocated to another location after you've run lirc-postinstall. fr fr, no take-backs. plan your paths before you commit, bestie. 😭

that's the whole vibe, you got this 💜

with love, lirc-postinstall version 0.10.2, last change Sep 2017, hanging out in LIRC_POSTINSTALL(1) — mwah 💋
