Description Michel Lind 2022-05-06 18:29:03 UTC

Please branch and build libusb-compat-0.1 in epel9.

If you do not wish to maintain libusb-compat-0.1 in epel9,
or do not think you will be able to do this in a timely manner,
the EPEL Packagers SIG would be happy to be a co-maintainer of the package;
please add the epel-packagers-sig group through
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libusb-compat-0.1/addgroup
and grant it commit access, or collaborator access on epel* branches.

I would also be happy to be a co-maintainer (FAS: salimma);
please add me through https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libusb-compat-0.1/adduser

Comment 1 Michel Lind 2022-05-25 18:49:45 UTC

Will you be able to branch and build libusb-compat-0.1 in epel9?
The EPEL Packagers SIG would be happy to be a co-maintainer
if you do not wish to build it on epel9, and so would I. Thanks!

IIRC - libusb-compat-0.1 appears in f37 and in f34/el9 its available as libusb (in appstream repo of el9) ?

This package has changed maintainer in Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.

Comment 4 Benjamin Berg 2022-07-26 08:27:06 UTC

Yes, the package is available as libusb. While this may be annoying, there should be no need for it to be in EPEL.

Note that everyone should use libusb1 instead of libusb-compat-0.1 if at all possible. For RHEL, the equivalent package is libusbx as the rename did not happen there.

As for dependency, I suggest using a "Requires: pkgconfig(libusb-1.0.pc)".
