At the time Colin and I discussed getting thunderbolt-tools into Debian and then eventually into Ubuntu (& of course main via this MIR) bolt's GUI wasn't available yet and bolt was still under some pretty heavy development.
>From a client (general purpose laptop or desktop) system perspective it's better to offer something with a GUI, but there are other features that thunderbolt-tools offers that aren't in bolt as well. For example thunderbolt-tools provides some udev rules to assist with starting up thunderbolt networking in the proper situations and recently adopted some features for controlling what happens with the boot time ACL. They are both great solutions that will continue to adopt different features at a different rate. My opinion is that both should be offered in main, but bolt and bolt GUI should probably be the one that gets seeded for Ubuntu desktop. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1748157 Title: [MIR] thunderbolt-tools To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbolt-tools/+bug/1748157/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
