Package: libusb Severity: grave Tags: sid Justification: renders package unusable
Version 0.1.9 of libusb seems to have timeout problems on big usb_bulk_write or usb_bulk_read transger. The problem has been seen at least with a scanner and libsane. The way usb_bulk_write() and usb_bulk_read() are handled in libusb has changed between version 0.1.8 and 0.1.9. Version 0.1.8 was using an ioctl in a synchronous way, whereas version 0.1.9 is using the new URB kernel interface which accepts asynchronous requests (using multiple ioctl). If the problem is not solved soon, I'll upload a version of libusb 0.1.9, with the usb_bulk_write() and usb_bulk_read() functions of version 0.1.8. The changes are not big as these two functions are only 20 lines long each. This solution has the advantage to let the new functions of libusb available. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to fr_FR.UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
