hello, I've got a -current-related question to ask. akbeech forwarded me his build log when trying to build the "linux" user-land libusb from the port which I maintain (it is below). At first I said "impossible" because I'd tested things thoroughly, but then noticed he was on a -current system. Digging into things I see that sys/dev/usb/usb.h has had some commits lately that renamed the usb structures. Things like "interface_index" went to uai_interface_index, etc.
Question #1: are there plans to MFC these changes in the USB structures to -stable in the near future? Question #2: If not, is __FreeBSD_version >= 500030 the appropriate thing to "key" off of in order to make a patch set for libusb so that it will compile and work cleanly on a "fresh" -current? (info obtained from http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/porting-versions.html ) If these changes are not going to be MFC'ed in the near future (i.e. for 4.6-RELEASE) then my tendency is to not put #ifdef flags all over the libusb code testing for FreeBSD-current, but rather to locally patch the source if make(1) can determine it's on a system with the 'new' structures.
