Package: isenkram Version: 0.6 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer, It would be nice to be able to specify that a given hardware is of a specific type and then specify for all of that type of hardware, a list of packages could be useful. This would reduce redundancy in the modaliases file and also make it easier to add new hardware and packages.
An example: I want to add a smart card reader: 0a5c:5800 Broadcom Corp. BCM5880 Secure Applications Processor and register that as a smart card reader. Then I want to register that smart card readers could benefit from this list of packages: pcsc-tools libpcsclite-dev pcscd libcci to support Norwegian Buypass smart cards (see instructions in Norwegian here: https://www.buypass.no/kundeservice/nedlastingssenter/_attachment/28021?_ts=14618ff9ad8 ) Currently the hardware information must be added to all of these packages. Ideally maybe even another indirection layer could be added, to group these packages into "Smart card reader with Buypass card". -- Marius Kotsbak
