[Barry-devel] Now using stable libusb

[Chris F. <cd...@fo...>]

Hi Barry fans!

I have given up on libusb's development tree.  Which is great news for you! :-)

Some of you probably wondered why I hadn't come to this conclusion before.
Hope springs eternal...

Anyway, I've backported the latest CVS version of Barry to use the stable
libusb library, which is the most common version on all distros.  Versions
0.1.11 or 0.1.12 are normally available.

Using stable libusb greatly increases stability in my testing on both
2.4 and 2.6 kernels.  It also makes building Barry much easier.

The next version of Barry will *not* require that libusb tarball from
the sourceforge download area.  Just install libusb using your favourite
distro packages and continue.

You will need both libusb and libusb-devel packages.

If any of you have time to give the latest CVS a whirl, please do, and
report any problems you may have.

Thanks, and Merry Christmas!
