Package Name: bolt Version: 0.3 Upstream Authors: Christian Kellner, Red Hat License : LGPL-2.1+ Programming Lang: C Homepage: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/bolt/bolt Description: system daemon to manage thunderbolt 3 devices Thunderbolt 3 features different security modes that require devices to be authorized before they can be used. The D-Bus API can be used to list devices, enroll them (authorize and store them in the local database) and forget them again (remove previously enrolled devices). It also emits signals if new devices are connected (or removed). During enrollment devices can be set to be automatically authorized as soon as they are connected. A command line tool, called boltctl, can be used to control the daemon and perform all the above mentioned tasks. Other Info -------------- Required for GNOME integration with Thunderbolt. Initial GNOME Shell support is in GNOME 3.28 (in Buster). The GNOME Settings (gnome-control-center) integration will be in GNOME 3.30 which is scheduled for release in September. See https://christian.kellner.me/2018/04/23/the-state-of-thunderbolt-3-in-fedora-28/ Not many people have Thunderbolt 3 devices yet, so if you do, please let us know how well this feature works. Initial packaging was done by Sebastien Bacher in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I intend to help maintain this package under the Debian freedesktop.org team. Packaging is at https://salsa.debian.org/freedesktop-team/bolt Thanks, Jeremy Bicha
