I think we should all respect Pete's decision with regard to the participation in libusb-devel. As for myself, even though I am listed as an admin of libusbx, I am mainly on testing and supporting side since I can not code properly (even if I come out with some patches, usually they are trivial patches). I will still be active in libusb-devel. I was trying to relay some issues between the two lists before the announcement of the fork. I am glad that Peter Stuge has joined the libusbx mailing list and start to send out technical discussions to both lists. So he can actually integrate libusbx patch back to libusb.git if he chooses to. Same for libusbx, libusbx will still integrate libusb.git patches. I think we all agree that Peter has done great jobs on libusb.git codes. The main disagreement I have is that his approach of release. As for the current libusb mailing list users, you are encouraged to subscribe to libusbx mailing list. https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libusbx-devel You do not need to take sides right now, you can always wait a while to see whether libusbx is better for you or libusb is better for you. Or you can let the "market decide". You can look at the libusbx roadmap here. http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/libusbx/roadmap If you have some suggestions on the roadmap, please send your suggestions through libusbx mailing list. -- Xiaofan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
