That's one awful double standard. :\ dev-libs/libusb is the default implementation from libusb.org, yet you are astonishingly eager to *avoid* that it is the default in virtual/libusb-1, even if ~keywords make it apply "only" to ~ systems. > and since pkgconf upstream doesn't properly follow pkg-config upstream > git and do necessary changes, like for bug 445796 it would mean > pkg-config related bugs would have to be reported to double upstream > and thus, not be maintainable In the case of libusb and libusbx, libusbx have consistently communicated that they are eager to *break* the API, and they have indeed made at least one release with an outright change of existing API, which broke things for library users. They released another version with that change reverted a day or so later, but still. I even asked you if you would consider swapping the default, but no. > lose-lose situation for the switch Funny that you should write that. I think it applies also when you prefer libusbx over the default implementation from libusb.org. Kind regards //Peter
