[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#1070082: ponyprog: Add Appstream metainfo announcing HW support

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Package: ponyprog
Version: 3.1.1+ds-1
Tags: patch

Here is a patch for ponyprog to add Appstream metainfo XML announcing
the hardware handled by this package.  The list of USB IDs in the
modalias list was fetched from udev/rules.d/90-ponyprog.rules.  I was
unsure if the disabled entries should be included, but thought it best
to keep the in the list.

Including this information in the package will ensure programs mapping
hardware to packages using Appstream information, like the isenkram
package, will know that this package is useful on machines where the USB
IDs are discovered.

+  <description>
+    <p>PonyProg is a serial device programmer software with a user
+    friendly GUI framework available for Windows and Linux. It's
+    purpose is reading and writing every serial device. With PonyProg
+    and SI-Prog you can program Wafercard for SAT, eeprom within GSM,
+    TV or CAR-RADIO.  Furthermore it can be used as a low cost starter
+    kit for PIC and AVR.</p>
+
+    <p>Ponyprog supports AVR, SPI eeprom, AVR micro, 12C bus 8bit
+    eeprom, PIC 16 micro, PIC 12 micro, AT89S micro and SDE2506 eeprom
+    family chips.</p>
+
+    <p>You can open any HEX, e2p, mot, csm, rom, eep, bin files and
+    burn them to uC or PIC. You can even backup the old program on the
+    chip using Ponyprog. Ponyprog enables the user to write, verify
+    and erase data on the microchip.</p>
+
+    <p>Also setting fuse bits and locks using Ponyprog is
+    possible. You can save any HEX file to BIN file or eep file, BIN
+    file to HEX file or MOT file and vice versa so you can use
+    Ponyprog as converter too. Ponyprog offers serial or parallel port
+    programming for uC's. You can even change polarity of control
+    lines without touching the wires using I/O port setup.</p>
+
+    <p>Using Ponyprog together with generic USB2serial adapters is
+    currently not possible! There are plans on upstream to use libusb
+    to add such functionality.</p>
