I have just looked at that, and it seems to implement most of the libusb-1.0 API. Only libusb_get_max_iso_packet and libusb_pollfds_handle_tim are missing, that should not be a big problem. Note that the usb.h header clashes with libusb 0.1, and is not at the same location than in libusb-1.0. It should be possible to handle by providing the correct pkgconfig file though. For libusb 0.1, it does not provides usb_debug, usb_error_* and usb_free*. This means I am a bit reluctant to also provide libusb-dev, also it means it won't work anymore on 7.2 based kernels. In short, here is what I propose: - make libusb-dev and libusb2-dev conflicts (they share libusb.a) - make libusb2-dev provides libusb-1.0-0-dev - add pkg-config support to libusb2-dev - add a libusb2-udeb, to match libusb-1.0-0-udeb. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 [email protected] http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
