  Description     : ALSA MIDI connection minder

 Watches for new MIDI ports (both from hardware devices and from
applications),
 and uses a rules configuration file to automatically make connections.
 Will also handle reconnecting if a port is removed and later added back,
like
 when a device is unplugged and then re-plugged.

amidiminder is already included with a Debian-based distro called Patchbox.
The Patchbox maintainers have requested that amidiminder be made into a
proper
Debian package. I believe that there are no Debian packages that provide
this
functionality.

amidiminder is a small package, so I can maintain it myself. I maintain two
other Debian packages. I will need a sponsor who is familiar with systemd
services.
