Description

The devicetree is a data structure for describing hardware. Rather than hard coding every detail of a device into an operating system, many aspects of the hardware can be described in a data structure that is passed to the operating system at boot time. The devicetree is used by OpenFirmware, OpenPOWER Abstraction Layer (OPAL), Power Architecture Platform Requirements (PAPR) and in the standalone Flattened Device Tree (FDT) form.

It is likely tightly coupled with MSYS2, which already has an excellent package manager (pacman).

To include it in Scoop, rather than simply adding the binaries, we would have to perform extensive porting work -- similar to what aspell did, which would make it difficult to maintain.
