This is a heads-up, a brain storming and ideas collection all at the same time.
xsetwacom is the previously small utility to tweak random driver functions. This is what this tool should remain as. I'm happy to add any new driver feature but I don't want semantic patches to filter into xsetwacom. It is not designed for it and it would screw up the usability by a lot. Borderline cases that we already have are MapToOutput which technically doesn't affect a driver setting. One step down the slippery slope is MapToOutput next which starts cycling through outputs. Much further down the line is the magic LED changes that we talked about in the other thread - changing the LED at the same time as all button assignments. This isn't to say that such a tool cannot exist but it won't be xsetwacom and it won't be in the xf86-input-wacom repository. This is a driver. Jason and I talked about the need for a client-side library at XDC and the possible need for another cli tool to change wacom driver settings. I certainly agree with the client-side library, we need the ability for clients to query e.g. model numbers and features. As for the commandline tool - I think the correct integration will be in the desktops, not bolted onto various commandline tools. But I'm certainly not going to stop anyone from implementing it. If you have suggestions for said library, the future of a cli tool, please voice them. I'm also CC'ing linuxwacom-discuss since this will affect users to some degree, not just developers.
