It would be great if this could be changed to libusb-1_0-0 so we could start getting rid of libusb-0.1. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1029838 http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1029838#c1 --- Comment #1 from Stanislav Brabec <sbrabec@suse.com> --- nut was not ported to libusb-1.0 yet. As libusb-1.0 is not backwards compatible with libusb-0.1 - all function names are different, etc. As the libusb-0.1 calls are spread across the whole projects, porting would needs large amount of work. libusb-0.1 has call and wait API (call read that waits for completing, call write that waits for completing) libusb-1.0 has event driver API (fill, submit, completed callback) We already got rid libusb-0.1 long time ago. Now we have libusb-compat wrapper, which contains 95% of libusb-0.1 features. I am afraid that libusb-0.1 API is still widely used in third party enterprise applications. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

For APC UPS, apcupsd can be used, but it depends on libusb-0.1 as well. libusb-compat is just a compatibility layer, and I do not expect big issues in it. It even slows down its development, as the implemented part is feature complete, and nobody wants/needs to implement the rest. We should just tell to the customers, that libusb-0.1 full compatibility guarantee is not part of the support. Just the implemented part. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

The libusb-compat is a good solution. Closing as WONTFIX. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
