sounds good. Of course we will have a look at your packages before
uploading them.

I guess they should conflict with each other then, and fso-frameworkd
should depend on fso-gsm0711d | fso-abyss – or we drop fso-gsm0711d
right away. It’s not being developed any more by FSO, is it?

Maybe Timo’s solution is more elegant: udev rules that pick, for each
device, the right file and make a symlink. This seems to be better than
having config files for each device.

Or abyss gets its own hardware detection code. Plugging into hal
maybe :-)

Greetings,
Joachim
