[opensuse-factory] libusb: next try to upgrade to libusb1
Hallo. Maybe you remember that we tried to upgrade libusb0 to libusb1 + libusb-compat in beta phase of openSUSE 11.1. We got a lot of bug reports. That forced us to switch back to libusb0. But it was a very valuable feedback for upstream. Upstream tried to debug and fix all these issues and libusb1 reached version 1.0.0 and it became a new stable branch in December. That is why I want to try the full switch to libusb1 again. Please report any problems related to libusb. libusb-compat is not a 100% identical to libusb0 and there may be particular problems that should be fixes in applications - incorrect use of libusb, that worked in libusb0, but does not work in libusb1. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966, +49 911 740538747 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I just submitted libusb-compat-0.1.0 and libusb-1_0-1.0.0 to Factory. They are available in home:sbrabec:Factory before the check-in. spec file has a new build time option: FULLY_REPLACE_LIBUSB_0_1 == 0: Compile libusb-compat version of shared library as libusb-0.1.so.5 allowing parallel installation of both versions. Packages use the libusb version they were compiled with. FULLY_REPLACE_LIBUSB_0_1 == 1: Compile libusb-compat version of shared library as upstream intended, i. e. libusb-0.1.so.4 fully replacing libusb0. I just submitted: %define FULLY_REPLACE_LIBUSB_0_1 1 It would be good if you could take these packages or help with bug of them. I am not an USB expert. I just did the packaging work. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966, +49 911 740538747 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Thanks a lot for detailed explanation. Unfortunately the build fails for libusb-compat. :-( I volunteer for testing USB support of gpsbabel. What do I need for testing? Replace libusb-devel with libusb-compat-devel in gpsbabel.spec? Best regards, Stefan Public Key available ------------------------------------------------------ Stefan Dirsch (Res. & Dev.)

Oops. It was working in local build, but Autobuild damaged the spec file and added wrong duplicate License line.

With libusb-compat with FULLY_REPLACE_LIBUSB_0_1==1 (soon in Factory): Install libusb-0_1-4 version 0.1.13 (i. e. version generated by libusb-compat).

Please try home:sbrabec:backports. libusb-compat will appear soon there. If it does not work, please try to debug or join libusb-devel list. You can check README for list of known differences. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966, +49 911 740538747 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
I just created following repositories: libusb0 for Factory and future distros: home:sbrabec:libusb0 libusb0 builds with debug log support: home:sbrabec:libusb0-debug libusb1 for older distros: home:sbrabec:backports libusb1 builds with debug log support: home:sbrabec:libusb1-debug Note: libusb0 will maybe contain pcsc-ccid and pcsc-lite, as these two packages contain interrupt transfer support, that is automatically enabled with libusb-compat. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966, +49 911 740538747 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Reopening https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=443861 Problem needs to be tracked, but it is Garmin GPS logger specific. My Qstarz GPS logger works perfectly with gpsbabel and libusb1. I have just created home:sbrabec:libusb0 repository to simplify testing with old libusb. I can create just one another with full debugging support. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966, +49 911 740538747 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
