Bug#955424: ITP: xr-hardware -- udev rules files for normal user access to XR input devices



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Ryan Pavlik <ryan@ryanpavlik.com>

* Package name    : xr-hardware
  Version         : 0.2.1
  Upstream Author : Ryan Pavlik <ryan.pavlik@collabora.com>
* URL             : https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/monado/utilities/xr-hardware

  Description     : udev rules files for normal user access to XR input devices

This package contains a udev rules file to permit access to virtual
reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), collectively "XR",
interaction devices as a normal user.

I am the upstream maintainer of this package. It is used by (recent ITP)
monado, but also can be used by other packaged software, including libopenhmd,
which currently instruct users to manually create a udev file.
This is why I have chosen to maintain it separately and package it separately.

Also, it is a free partial alternative to the steam-devices non-free package for
the Steam-related devices that are VR/AR related. In addition to the DFSG-free
license, it also follows best practices for udev rules more closely.
(using uaccess instead of setting group and permissions directly, etc.)

I will maintain this package along with Monado.
