Hi guys, usbutils need libusb1 to build, it's a core package. Are you fine with moving libusb1 to [core]?
Shouldn't we be changing libusb to the 1.x series as the 0.x series is dead upstream. If anything actually still needs libusb-0 then we need to build the libusb-compat wrapper (http://www.libusb.org/wiki/libusb-compat-0.1).
I can remember this being brought up a year or so ago but it appears nothing ever got done about it...
Udev still builds against old libusb.
OK, so we definitely need libusb-compat... I'd much prefer to see libusb upgraded to 1.x and libusb-compat added to [core] rather than just bringing libusb1 to [core]. My guess is that the needed rebuild would be small and I can generate a list if this is seen by others as the way to go. Allan
