I saw that, but again, you are forcing users of your library, to change their code due to your API change. You are changing the API without changing the library version, which is a very bad thing to do. Yes, I understand you wanted to fix an old typo in a structure, so fix it and bump the version number of the library if it is that important. If it's not important enough to change the version number of the library, then maybe you shouldn't have made that change. greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
