Created attachment 886030 [details] supposed update-usbids script Description of problem: USB utilities extract some information from hwdata's usb.ids. This file is updated once in a while when new release of hwdata package is released. Unfortunately it's release cycle is not fast enough for some users. They'd like to be able to update these ids when needed. That's what the /usr/sbin/update-pciids script is for in fedora for pci.ids which is shipped the same way. It would be convenient to have its equivalent for usb ids updates. Additional info: Attached is a script which is basically a copy of update-pciids with tuned source url and renamed variables.
Next version of usbutils will use hwdb provided by systemd package. https://github.com/gregkh/usbutils/commit/c6282a7a0e20fbb9c56837f055843635a43ba8b4
