Hot on the heels of the 2.2 release, here is "3.0", with an entirely
rewritten back-end where the USB data is read from. No longer is
debugfs access needed, all of the information is taken directly from
sysfs as normal user permissions.
This should allow distros and packagers to no longer need polkit
policies at all, and hopefully remove any potential future problems in
the tool.
The package can be downloaded at:

and the git tree can be found at:

thanks,

-------
version 3.0
- remove need for debugfs/usbdevfs/usbfs file entirely, rely only on
sysfs now. This removes the need to run the program as root, which
should have never happened.
- added SPDX identifiers and .spdx file to make packaging easier for
others.
