This version is a metapackage that pulls in libusb-compat, \ +the replacement for libusb." + +# This version of libusb will never be pulled in automagically. The +# intention is that a distro wishing to use libusb1 and libusb-compat +# will place the following in the appropriate conf file: +# +# PREFERRED_VERSION_libusb = "0.0.0" +# +# This essentially results in the replacement of libusb by libusb-compat, +# and resolves the issues of some packages depending on libusb, while +# other (newer) ones depend on libusb-compat. +# +# Note that using this version of libusb will break certain packages +# that cannot work with libusb-compat (gnuradio is said to be such a +# packages, as is dfu-util). Unfortunately other packages (such as bluez) +# require libusb-compat -- there's no good solution for this conflict +# at this time. The fundamental problem is that both libusb and +# libusb-compat stage to the same libs (/usr/lib/libusb.a, for example), +# so if you have built both, the last one staged wins. +# +# This "hack" seems to be the most flexible and least intrusive workaround. + +DEFAULT_PREFERENCE = "-1" + +DEPENDS = "libusb-compat" |
