Description Jonas Jonsson 2009-02-03 08:24:12 UTC
The package avarice needs to be updated. Current version in Fedora is 2.6, current stable version is 2.8.

It seems that avarice isn't built with libusb support, this makes it hard to use this application with only USB connection.

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2009-11-18 10:58:32 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 10.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '10'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 2 Thomas Sailer 2010-04-29 09:30:32 UTC
Indeed. I've rebuilt the current version in fedora with libusb support:

Comment 3 Thomas Sailer 2010-04-29 12:35:19 UTC
And now updated to 2.10.

If I was provenpackager I'd probably just update it myself...

Comment 4 Adam Pribyl 2010-06-22 08:52:29 UTC
I'll try to add current builder Lucian Langa to CC - there is a different patch in oficial 2.10-1 fc13 compared to your src. Is it needed to build avarice with libusb support? Because it seems the build in F13 is 2.10 but without libusb support again.

Comment 5 Lucian Langa 2010-06-22 13:33:27 UTC
Thanks for notification.
I've rebuilt all targets.

Comment 6 Thomas Sailer 2010-06-22 13:54:55 UTC
My patch was needed as soon as libusb was present, otherwise modern gcc would refuse to compile it due to constness issues. I've briefly looked at the fc13 srpm, it seems to me that my patch is needed there as well.
