fwupd - A simple daemon to allow session software to update firmware

This project aims to make updating firmware on Linux automatic, safe and
reliable.

The following can be used to start/stop the daemon automatically:
Add the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:

  if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.fwupd ]; then
    /etc/rc.d/rc.fwupd start
  fi

In /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown, add following
  if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.fwupd ]; then
    /etc/rc.d/rc.fwupd stop
  fi

Warning: This SlackBuild requires network access when it runs, meaning
it downloads files from the Internet with root access. You should
decide for yourself whether or not you think this is a good idea.

This requires: gcab, libgusb, libsmbios, libxmlb, python3-typogrify, libjcat, python3-meson-opt, python3-toml, pefile, protobuf-c
