The only reason that 'ezusb_convert.pl' is written inside the patch is for the need to remove this script. Farther down in the patch, it adds the script 'ezusb_convert.sh'. For more reinforced arguments as to why Perl should be removed from the build process, see: https://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/2/20 Thanks for the comments, Jorge -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
