Request for alias: device-tree-compiler

The Device Tree Compiler (device-tree-compiler) requires the following aliases for proper integration into the existing build systems:

  • convert-dtsv0
  • dtc
  • dtdiff
  • fdtdump
  • fdtget
  • fdtoverlay
  • fdtput

EDIT: Added convert-dtsv0 and dtdiff (see the comments below).

Please note that this request is for the device-tree-compiler package, not devicetree-compiler.

+1 for all of these. They all exist in the device-tree-compiler deb and so a snap that provides another version of device-tree-compiler would be expected to have these.

@reviewers - can others please vote?

+1 from me on these as well-- not only does the device-tree-compiler deb include them, ONLY the device-tree-compiler deb includes them. Do you also want dtdiff and/or convert-dtsv0?

@kyrofa Sure, that would be great (I will need to update the snap to include those binaries/commands).

EDIT: I have updated the snap to expose these two commands:


+1 for auto-aliases of convert-dtsv0 and dtdiff too.

2 votes for, 0 against for auto-aliases for dtc, fdtdump, fdtget, fdtoverlay, fdtput, convert-dtsv0 and dtdiff. Granting. This is now live.
