Bug#869806: Update (original) (raw)

Hello,

Noted, I'll keep updating there then, hoping for the best.

Thanks for taking the time to try and build it. Yes, gaming keyboards expose a second HID interface to deal with non-standard features, and that's the one keyleds talks to. So it just shouldn't find any device if no gaming keyboard is connected.

Being able to build it on non-x86 platforms is definitely part of the objectives. It was created with this in mind, though actual tests are still on the "TODO" side of the list. I missed the fact that __builtin_cpu_init only exists on platforms where gcc actually detects things. I'm opening an issue for this and fix will be in next release.

Thanks!

Hello, I updated the package from upstream. I don't know if I am supposed to file another RFS or just append to this one?

The previous one hasn't been sponsored yet, so you're merely updating the request rather than asking for a new upload. Appending to the RFS bug is preferred. One sponsored upload -- one RFS.

New version is 0.4.3-1. It can be downloaded with dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/k/keyleds/keyleds_0.4.3-1.dsc

I see you're going to have trouble finding someone who can meaningfully review the package: it can't be tested without relevant hardware. I for one have a non-gaming Logitech keyboard, this daemon doesn't speak to it (not surprising -- no LEDs other than Num/Caps/Scroll).

The package fails to build on architectures other than amd64 and i386, as its code to detect ISA extensions uses x86-only features despite obvious attempts of the build system to be portable. It'd be nice to fix this as fancy-schmancy keyboards are in no way x86-specific: you can attach one both to an 89Pinebook(arm64)ortoa89 Pinebook (arm64) or to a 89Pinebook(arm64)ortoa6.5k Talos 2 (ppc64el).

Meow!
