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.

I'm guessing you're talking about Daniel Drake. Why didn't you ask him
if you could get commit access instead? I took over libfprint and
fprintd releases, and got them moved to freedesktop.org last year.

No, Daniel handed it over to Peter Stuge about 18 months ago (give or
take), and that didn't work out to well. I (and others) have tried pretty
much every everything to avoid having to fork, but to no result.

Regards,

Hans
