Package: openocd
Version: 0.9.0-1
Summary:
What are the opinions about a 'jtag-adapter-udev' package?
Hello OpenOCD maintainer,
Here the maintainer of urjtag.
Our users benefit from udev rule files
that describes/handles their JTAG probes.
When both openocd and urjtag install a udev rule
covering the same device, will result in nasty situations
on conflicting rules.
This bugreport is to prevent such configuration conflicts.
What I want is a separate package
that installs udev rules for JTAG adapters (and such[1]).
What we need is agreement on the idea of it.
Also we need to pick / decide a name for the package.
Doing `aptitude search udev` yields several package names
ending in '-dev'. I want to go with that convention.
Another thing is where/what "upstream" should be.
Currently has "urjtag upstream" no udev rule file.
But "openocd upstream" does have such file.
That gives openocd a headstart for being "upstream"
for a -udev package.
The above all together did bring me to make patches on OpenOCD
that build a jtag-adapter-udev package. I'll send them
to this bugreport.
Looking forward to your feedback
Kind regards
Geert Stappers
