I have reviewed flashrom along with fwupd and I don't see anything that looks like it will cause problems. The flashrom documentation recommends using vendors' flashing utilities when possible for laptops, and there is a link to that page of the documentation in the manpage.
I have attached a debdiff to this comment that addresses several other concerns about this MIR. The attached debdiff 1) Adds the build time unit tests to the meson build 2) Adds a simple test script that operates on an emulated chip without sudo privileges. This runs as an autopkgtest 3) Removes the warning about command line syntax change from the manpage 4) Adds a comment on the stability of this program to the manpage 5) Adds a .symbols file for libflashrom1 ** Patch added: "flashrom MIR" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashrom/+bug/1912371/+attachment/5476160/+files/lp1912371.debdiff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1912371 Title: [MIR] flashrom + libftdi To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashrom/+bug/1912371/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
