[Bug 1918583] Re: Switch to libgpiod and disable CONFIG_GPIO_SYSFS
Now that jammy's out (which still includes CONFIG_GPIO_SYSFS), let's at least consider this for kinetic. I would suggest it would sensible to at least try this in an interim release prior to the next LTS. There will undoubtedly be things that break, but it's probably better to be aware of how much breakage potential there is around this (and what it would take to encourage users over to libgpiod, or if that's practical in all cases). I'll add linux-raspi to the target list as that's probably the kernel flavour that this will impact most and target to kinetic. ** Also affects: linux-raspi (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Kinetic) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Also affects: linux-raspi (Ubuntu Kinetic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags added: rls-kk-incoming -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1918583 Title: Switch to libgpiod and disable CONFIG_GPIO_SYSFS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1918583/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This post: https://waldorf.waveform.org.uk/2021/the-pins-they- are-a-changin.html should explain things rather more completely than I can here but the TL;DR version is: it would be nice to disable sysfs but there's *way* too much stuff that would break right now if we did (mostly Python GPIO interfaces, but given Python is the "blessed" language for much of the Pi Foundation's output, that's a lot of important stuff to break!). My hope is that with the addition of lgpio (a "full-featured" library also based on the gpiochip device) in hirsute we should be in a reasonable position to disable that for the LTS next year (maybe impish?). But right now there's too much that'll break. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1918583 Title: Switch to libgpiod and disable CONFIG_GPIO_SYSFS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1918583/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
