Description Neal Gompa 2022-04-16 20:54:36 UTC
Description of problem:
In order to support using devices like the Elgato Stream Deck and other professional AV production devices, systemd hwdb and udev need to be able to detect them.

This makes it possible to use apps like Boatswain, which enable professionals to use such hardware for content creation.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
250-4.el9

Additional info:
This was contributed to systemd upstream for v251: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/22730

I've prepared a backport for systemd-stable for v250: https://github.com/systemd/systemd-stable/pull/192

Comment 3 David Tardon 2022-06-20 11:47:31 UTC
We plan to do regular HWDB updates starting with 9.1. I don't think there's any point in backporting a few commits separately.
