Having looked into Solaar, I like the look of it, and it does have more features. However, it is a Python Gtk application and requires Gtk to build. I therefore believe there might still be a use for ltunify, as it is a very small (35 kB) console application that has almost no build dependencies. I believe this might be a good argument for including both. I have done the packaging work already in my personal Gitea repo. I can push this to Salsa for review if that would be useful. Kind regards, Anthony
