I am setting up a mythtv box using hardware that was originally used for a Windows/SageTV box. I have a USB-UIRT infrared receiver which worked beautifully in SageTV.

However, the USB-UIRT is not supported in lirc, but there is a patch available for it.

My problem is that the patch is available for lirc-0.7.1, and my version of lirc is 0.8.1


I'm fairly certain this means the patch won't work (I haven't tried applying it yet, does anyone think it would work)

I haven't been able to find a patch for 0.8.1.

So how would I downgrade to version 0.7.1 and stop yum update from taking it back up to 0.8.1?


edit: I'm using Fedora Core 4 on i386
