libfido2: missing udev rules?

[dkwo]

I'm unable to use libfido2 with my u2f usb key (yubikey), because it misses the corresponding udev rules. Those rules are instead provided by the older libu2f-host, with which my usb key works fine. I can try to add those myself, although I'm not sure how to do it exactly, as the new package uses cmake while old one gnumake. Does that make sense to you?

What is the issue here? That the udev rules are shipped in libu2f-host? That is expected behavior AIUI.

[dkwo]

The issue here is that udev rules are absent in the newer libfido2.

Sorry if I missed anything, but what wrong with installing both? They aren't conflicts.

[dkwo]

My understanding is that libfido2 supersedes libu2f-host, so even though there are no conflicts, it should be possible to only use the first and have everything working; also consider that the github of libfido2 has more updated udev rules, and it suggests to install those. That's why I think the libfido2 template should be modified accordingly, perhaps also including hidapi as a dependence.

[sgn]

Hm, perhaps we can split the udev rules into its own package and let libfido2 and libu2f-host depends on it.

@sgn Thanks a lot, that should work.
I'm not really sure, but do you think libfido2 should also depend on hidapi-devel?

[sgn]

That depends on leah2's opinion, you should ask them on IRC, they're more active there.
I don't care much about hidapi-devel since I don't use anything that requires it. (Maybe I do, but I don't know).

[dkwo]

I see.
I tried the updated package, and it works for me without hidapi, so for the moment I'm happy.
Thanks.
