Advanced users • Re: libgpiod version [SOLVED]

What it comes down to for me is not being able to have separate apps which can read the same button input, and not being able to control the same outputs from other apps, without having to hand-craft some kind of daemon to do that. That to me is a retrograde step from what we had, regardless of whoever can be blamed for it.

Sure, and that is what I meant be providing something more palatable to Pi users.

As demonstrated above, sharing inputs in away similar to sysfs is pretty trivial. You can do something similar with gpioset for outputs:
There could be a better way to do that, but that was my fast and loose solution.
That allows you to pipe commands into a file and they will set the line:
or
Any command that can be provided to the gpioset interactive mode will work and can be sent by any process with access to the pipe.

Of course this solution requires interactive mode which is only available in the libgpiod v2 tools, and those still aren't available for the Pi via apt.
It really would've been helpful if that had made it into the Pi repositories before the Pi5 was released.
But there is no point whining about water under the bridge - work the damn problem.
