Bug#1111458: RFP: udev-hid-bpf -- automatic HID-BPF loader based on udev events



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-kernel@lists.debian.org, 1110780@bugs.debian.org, carnil@debian.org

* Package name    : udev-hid-bpf
  Version         : 2.1.0-20240704 
  Upstream Contact: Benjamin Tissoires <benjamin.tissoires@gmail.com>
* URL             : https://libevdev.pages.freedesktop.org/udev-hid-bpf/

  Programming Lang: C, Rust, 
  Description     : automatic HID-BPF loader based on udev events

An automatic HID-BPF loader based on udev events. This repository aims
to provide a simple way for users to write a HID-BPF program that
fixes their device.

udev-hid-bpf contains distinct components:
- udev-hid-bpf the binary that loads HID-BPF programs
- A set of HID-BPF programs (see the src/bpf directory)
- Scaffolding to automate loading of HID-BPF programs via udev.

Kernel-side documentation:
https://docs.kernel.org/hid/hid-bpf.html

I have no capacity to look into the feasibility of the packaging, but
this would be the second part needed to make things as for #1110780
work out per se in Debian (maybe we cannot accomplish and the
udev-hid-bpf part will be kept outside?).

Regards,
Salvatore
