Package: tpb
Version: 0.6.4-8
Severity: wishlist
User: p...@hungry.com
Usertags: appstream-modalias
Hi.
The tpb 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
tpb package, with content similar to this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<component>
[...]
<provides>
<modalias>dmi:*:pn*:pvrThinkPad*:rvn*</modalias>
</provides>
</component>
If there are other modalias matches also supposed by the package, please
add those too. :)
