(sorry, resending in plain text mode so vger doesn't bounce (curse you gmail :-)) Valentina did considerable work in moving usbip-utils from using the defunct libsysfs to libudev (well, part of systemd now it seems.) so some version bump seems appropriate, why not to 2.0? esp. as a heads-up to pkg maintainers - btw usbip-utils is already packaged for Debian, and I could probably see it in Fedora too, why not. As to why have a version at all, this is of course tied to whether usbip-utils will ever emerge from the belly of the whale and return to its own home. I think it should someday, if the concerns about long-term maintenance and interface stability can be addressed to your satisfaction. It would be considerable work to integrate it into the kernel build, and would need to be undone if it ever left kernel.git.
