zhen-hua protocol not supported

[Valentijn Sessink]

Binary package hint: joystick

Since kernel 2.6.26, there's a "zhenhua" kernel module that supports the "Zhen Hua" joystick. Inputattach does not support this kernel module, although there's a patch ready for inclusion.

Please note, that the patch was made originally by the author of the zhenhua kernel module, as can be seen here: http://<email address hidden>/msg00276.html

The only thing I did today is merge the above patch with the patches in the debian/patches directory.

... forgot the utils/serio-ids.h part of the patch; here is the correct "update-inputattach.patch".

Thanks for the pointer, I'll merge the patch upstream and it will be in the next version of the Debian package.

This bug was fixed in the package joystick - 1:1.4~rc1-1

---------------
joystick (1:1.4~rc1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream version:
    - Builds with --as-needed. Closes: #607009.
    - inputattach supports W8001. Closes: #616443.
    - inputattach supports Zhen-Hua. LP: #648945.
  * Drop all patches, merged upstream. Drop README.source explaining quilt
    usage, and --with-quilt directive to sh.
  * Drop manpages, merged upstream.
  * Drop store/restore tools, merged upstream.
  * Rework udev rules:
    - provide agents to delay invoking inputattach or jscal-restore until
      they become available;
    - drop jskeepalive and use sleep instead to stop Acrux devices from
      going into a coma (as suggested by Oliver Neukum), for kernels prior
      to 2.6.39;
    - only apply the udev rules when adding devices (as suggested by
      Roberto Neri).
  * Standards-Version 3.9.1, no change required.
  * No longer ship evtest, its source is maintained separately (and will
    be removed from future upstream versions of joystick).
