Hi All, I plan to replace libusb1 with libusbx, libusx is a fork of and a drop in replacement for libusb1. The libusbx fork was started by various libusb-1.0 developers (almost all of them *), because the official maintainer of libusb-1.0 refused to do any stable / tarbal releases for over 18 months and in general was very slow with merging new developments and fixes. Don't be fooled by the recently done libusb-1.0.9 release, that was done by the libusb-1.0 maintainer *after* the libusbx fork was announced and had already done 2 releases. The fact that this release only happened after the fork went public, despite various people including me asking for a release for ages (**) shows that forking was necessary. Anyways, I just included this tidbit to explain why I'm replacing libusb1 with libusbx for Fedora-18 and later. Lets not look backwards, but forwards towards what looks to be a bright future with libusbx :) A rename review request can be found here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=823886 Reviews appreciated! Regards, Hans *) Full disclosure: I'm one of the libusb developers behind the fork **) I was originally promised a 1.0.9 release in time for inclusion into Fedora 16 gold! -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
