Having looked into Solaar, I like the look of it, and it does have more
features. However, it is a Python Gtk application and requires Gtk to build.
I therefore believe there might still be a use for ltunify, as it is a
very small (35 kB) console application that has almost no build
dependencies.
I believe this might be a good argument for including both. I have done
the packaging work already in my personal Gitea repo. I can push this to
Salsa for review if that would be useful.
Kind regards,
Anthony
