How to add or workaround a udev rule

I was thinking about the same question. I think this could be done by the install hook, adding the file to /etc/udev/rules.d/ . Can someone confirm that this is a proper way?

An install hook could do this provided you used the system-files interface to allow write access to /etc/udev/rules.d, but this is not the proper way. A classic snap could do the same, but again, that isn’t the proper way.

The way to do this within the ecosystem is add a new/modify an existing interface to update the udev backend for the hardware in question so snapd can put the udev rule(s) in place on behalf of the snap that plugs the interface.
