Package: brltty Version: 5.3.1-3b Severity: wishlist User: [email protected] Usertags: appstream-modalias
Hi. The brltty package is one of the packages in the Debian archive that should be proposed for installation when a given hardware dongle is inserted or available. Thanks to the appstream system, this can now be announced in a way other tools can use and act on. I've written the isenkram system to ask the current user if hardware specific packages should be installed when a new dongle is installed or already present on a machine, and isenkram now uses appstream as one source for hardware to package mappings. You can read more about this on my blog, <URL: http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Using_appstream_with_isenkram_to_install_hardware_related_packages_in_Debian.html >. Instructions on how to create the metadata XML file can be found in <URL: https://wiki.debian.org/AppStream/Guidelines >. It would be great if you could add an appstream metainfo file to the brltty package, with content similar to this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <component> [...] <provides> <modalias>usb:v0403pF208d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0403pFE70d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0403pFE71d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0403pFE72d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0403pFE73d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0403pFE74d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0403pFE75d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0403pFE76d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0403pFE77d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0452p0100d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v045Ep930Ad*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v045Ep930Bd*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v06B0p0001d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0798p0001d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0798p0624d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0798p0640d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0798p0680d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0904p2000d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0904p2001d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0904p2002d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0904p2007d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0904p2008d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0904p2009d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0904p2010d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0904p2011d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0904p2014d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0904p2015d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0904p2016d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0904p3000d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0921p1200d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0F4Ep0100d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0F4Ep0111d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0F4Ep0112d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v0F4Ep0114d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v10C4pEA60d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v10C4pEA80d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v1C71pC005d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v1FE4p0003d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v1FE4p0044d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v1FE4p0054d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v1FE4p0074d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v1FE4p0081d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v1FE4p0082d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v1FE4p0083d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v1FE4p0084d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v1FE4p0086d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v1FE4p0087d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v1FE4p008Ad*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v1FE4p008Bd*</modalias> <modalias>usb:v4242p0001d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:vC251p1122d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:vC251p1123d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:vC251p1124d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:vC251p1125d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:vC251p1126d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:vC251p1127d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:vC251p1128d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:vC251p1129d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:vC251p112Ad*</modalias> <modalias>usb:vC251p112Bd*</modalias> <modalias>usb:vC251p112Cd*</modalias> <modalias>usb:vC251p112Dd*</modalias> <modalias>usb:vC251p112Ed*</modalias> <modalias>usb:vC251p112Fd*</modalias> <modalias>usb:vC251p1130d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:vC251p1131d*</modalias> <modalias>usb:vC251p1132d*</modalias> </provides> </component> If there are other USB ids also supposed by the package, please add those too. :) -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
