>From what I see, libftdi-1.0 has not made into any of the distros. For example, Debian has only libftdi 0.18 in the unstable branch (sid). The package name is kind of consusing though since it is named as libftdi1 (version 0.18-1). http://packages.debian.org/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=libftdi One thing that I think that may cause further integration of libftdi-1.0 into distros is that it is supposedly to be total replacement of libftdi so they can not coexist together. And they actually depend on different packages (libusb-0.1 and libusb-1.0). Maybe it is time to rename the libftdi-1.0 binaries to libftdi-1.0.{so, dll, a, dll.a} and rename the header file to libftdi.h, similar to libusb-1.0. In that case, it can coexist with the current libftdi and the distros can easily add it in without affecting the original libftdi package. -- Xiaofan -- libftdi - see http://www.intra2net.com/en/developer/libftdi for details.
