Description : Qualcomm PD mapper service

'pd-mapper' is the reference implementation for Qualcomm's Protection
Domain mapper service. It is required for userspace applications to
access the various remote processors (Wi-Fi, modem, sensors...) on
recent Qualcomm SoCs using the QRTR protocol.

This package will be maintained within the DebianOnMobile team.

[IOhannes m zmölnig]

Just to note: AFAIK all Debian packages that currently use the "pd-" prefix belong to the "pure-data" universe, just like Python packages have a "python-" prefix.
There is no formal "reservation" of that namespace, but I would expect quite some confusion if there are a few totally unrelated packages using the same naming scheme.

There's even an exusting pd-mapping package....


So I humbly suggest to pick a name that reduces confusion, if possible.

Hi IOhannes,

You're right, renaming it to `protection-domain-mapper` should avoid any
confusion.

The package is already in NEW but I'll drop a line to the FTP Masters
team so they reject that one.

Thanks,
Arnaud
