Hello all, I know that I have been veeeeeeeeery slow in arriving at this point. My life has been sucked away recently with a large project at work. Such is "open source" .... But at long last I have devoted some cycles to updating the libusb port for FreeBSD. However, since there has been such a long cycle between updates, and many changes to the code I wanted to roll a binary package file and have people test out with existing apps before I submitted the PR to have the port files themselves changed. The version in the tree right now is 0.1.7. Johannes has released 0.1.10a just a few weeks ago and it looks like it has many changes to the BSD code (with what looks like some the integration of some patches which previously were applied by the port itself). So, for those who enjoy libusb on a daily basis like me, can you please fetch the following: http://www.reynoldsnet.org/libusb-0.1.10a.tbz and pkg_add it then test out your apps? You might have to go swizzle some soft links in /usr/local/lib if your apps linked to libusb-0.1.so.7 because he's changed the version number of the lib to "8" so what this pkg installs is libusb-0.1.so.8. I only use libusb with a single application to snarf pictures off my digital camera, but I'm sure others use it for many other things. The wider the testing, the better. I will roll the port changes and have them ready to send-pr if I receive all "thumbs up" messages.
