Thank you for your work, I had a look to what is in the ppa and I've a question

the source and deb only have udev and modalias rules where the git repo has a .so , is that expected? if there is no binary content why do you have those depends?

libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.14.0), libusb-1.0-0 (>= 2:1.0.9), libfprint-2-2 (>= 1.90.1), libfprint-2-tod1 (>= 1.90.1)

libfprint-2-tod1-goodix has been uploaded to oem-archive for certified platform, it's not blocking the user to use the device. Lower the priority to Low.

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

The package in http://oem.archive.canonical.com/pool/public/libf/libfprint-2-tod1-goodix/ indeed looks better and has contents (ships .so, and hence the binary deps).

The one in the queue looks incomplete, and I guess should be rejected, as it is effectively empty.

Hello @seb128,
I removed libglib2.0-0 and libusb-1.0-0 in depends since both of them depends on libfprint-2-2 and libfprint-2-tod1. I uploaded here https://launchpad.net/~andch/+archive/ubuntu/staging-fprint/+packages.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

It's been 1.5 years since the last update to the bug, and the package is targeted at focal for which it has the wrong version number.

Please resubmit a package for mantic if that's still needed and resubscribe. Presumably there's a newer upstream version available too, and all validation back on focal surely is invalidated now?

[Andy Chi (andch)]

Hi @juliank,
Is that possible we only support Jammy and Focal?

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

Given the proprietary nature that does seem reasonable as the .so would need changes otherwise, ultimately that will be up to the SRU team to decide.

Please ensure that there's something to upload, follow the procedure in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates to prepare a stable release update, mostly filling out the template, and resubscribe ubuntu-sponsors when done.

@andy,

 Cause goodix provide another 0.0.10 '.so' file for 550a fingerprint, do you prepare to package these two '.so' together or separate to a single package?

 I packed a libfprint-2-tod1-goodix-550a for testing, it works fine in 22.04.
