I haven't checked out the patch yet, but I'm still having trouble seeing the value in switching to libhid on Linux. Essentially, we'd be adding another layer on top of libusb (when we have a perfectly good libusb implementation) and requiring a library that isn't packaged by any distros. I know you said that libraries will get packaged when other packages need them, but that's easier said than done. Concordance 1.0 only recently made it into Fedora and Debian (after ~4 months), and that was after a *lot* of nagging on my part. I think the fact that it isn't packaged also tells us that there aren't a lot of other users, at least on Linux. I think at the very least, we shouldn't get rid of the libusb implementation. Perhaps we could make it a 'configure' option to pick between the implementations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!
