[Android-tools-devel] Bug#934178: adb package does not include udev rules

[Gregor Riepl]

Package: adb
Version: 1:8.1.0+r23-5
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Back in jessie, android-tools-adb contained a set of udev rules to allow users
in the plugdev group access to Android devices without running adb as root:
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/amd64/android-tools-adb/filelist

It seems like these rules were removed in stretch and haven't been added back
since:
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/amd64/adb/filelist

Please add the udev rules back or include different means for normal users
to access ADB devices without running adb as root.

Thank you.
