add right click emulation via long press touch for touchscreens about lysmarine_gen

[mgrouch]

Binaries for evdev-rce

Debian:
https://cloudsmith.io/~bbn-projects/repos/bbn-repo/groups/

Ubuntu
https://launchpad.net/~bbn-projects/+archive/ubuntu/bbn-ppa

All processor architectures and current distros

[mgrouch]

I've made a new (better) package and moved it into dedicated repo

https://cloudsmith.io/~bbn-projects/repos/bbn-rce/packages/

[mgrouch]

I've integrated evdev-rce debian package install into circleci lysmarine image build and tested it.
it works very nice. It's system wide (not just in openCPN). we have right click emu on touch screens in all apps now.
It triggers on release of finger. Otherwise it's impossible to implement as it would send left mouse UP event after right click
and mostly null its effect. To test hold your touch on a touch screen with one finger for about one second and then release.
And this solution would work in Wayland too. It uses evdev kernel driver which is use by Wayland too.
see my fork of lysmarine_gen for changes.

Noticed

I have tested the package and it work :)
Even with my usually poorly supported waveshare 7.1 screen

@mgrouch I im aboot to add your launchpad PPA of evdev-rce into lysmarine.

But before, I was trying to understand what I'm adding exactly. If I get it right, it's a fork of a fork of a project published by PeterCxy. By default, contributions should be favoured to forks but there is also many good reasons to fork a project. On the other hand, I found it hard to see what improvement you made on this repo. I get that your workflow involve making a commit for each test you do. May I suggest you to try GitKraken. I think I tried every graphical git applications out there and it's the only one that truly made me stop using the CLI and be proficient with branches and multi-origin management. Its one of the rare non-FOSS software I use.

Also, have you tried to make a PR to PeterCxy? Just to be sure that he do not maintain his repo anymore. So that would justify the forking for me.

Also, with this, I would like to mention your help to lysmarine somewhere, is it ok with you ?

Use my fork for now. I’ll try to contact original author

The work is happening in this branch:

@mgrouch your launchpad PPA need to be signed with your PGP key. (and have your key publicly available on a key registry)

I added your repository but apt-get refuse to use it due to the missing key.

[mgrouch]

Which one of my PPAs?

Thx, it works now with the key.

[mgrouch]

Totally Done in my fork

[FredericGuilbault]

@mgrouch , If you want to to be the maintainer of https://github.com/bareboat-necessities/evdev-right-click-emulation
you should enable the issue tab.

EDIT
bareboat-necessities/evdev-right-click-emulation#3

[FredericGuilbault]

No, this is still broken in lysmarine, and as the maintainer/packager you still have a valid issue to solve. You wanted to fork that guy code, and you wanted me to integrate it. I must go throu the whole process of making a good quality integration OR roll back and remove evdev-rce. But this can't be dropped in the middle of the road.
