Subject: calibre: Please announce supported hardware using AppStream (Closes:
#838069)
Package: calibre
Version: 2.60.0+dfsg-1
Severity: wishlist
User: pere@hungry.com
Usertags: appstream-modalias
Hi.
The calibre 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
calibre package, with content similar to this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<component>
[...]
<provides>
<modalias>usb:v2237p*d*ic08isc*ip*</modalias>
<modalias>usb:v0525pA4A5d*ic08isc*ip*</modalias>
</provides>
</component>
If there are other USB ids also supposed by the package, please add
those too. :)
----------
I had a look at how to modify the source to fix this. Here is an
untested patch to implement support for provides in the generated
metadata XML file. Unfortunately I lacked the required free disk space
to do a test build. I did not add the provides to the editor metadata
entry, assuming that it is most relevant for the two other components.
