Hi Ricardo,

I am helping Valentina work on usbip for Linux, in association with the
GNOME OPW[1] program. usbip was merged into the Linux kernel tree, but
in the "staging" branch. This is not meant as a long-term location for
things.

When the usbip kernel driver is promoted out of staging, the usbip
user-tools also need to go somewhere. Since it seems like the people
working on usbip for Linux have moved on, we were planning on hosting
usbip-userspace somewhere else, maybe on github. If this is incorrect,
please say so. We'd love to work along with the original Linux
developers, if they're around :-)
