Both homepage and SRC_URI seem out of date. I found it here: https://github.com/gregkh/usbutils.
I noticed this a while back but didn't feel like bumping it until it starts getting uploaded to the kernel.org infrastructure again.

It's been awhile since kernel.org has been restored. On a semi-related note: if I'm reading udev sources correctly, 'hwdb?' should have [-zlib] for usbutils too. Though it's quite a bit annoying, that udev can't use either of the files compressed.

The answer is yes, probably on the next release unless some pokes gregkh to upload it now that kernel.org file uploads appear to be working again. > On a semi-related note: if I'm reading udev sources correctly, 'hwdb?' should > have [-zlib] for usbutils too.

No, because unlike pciutils, usbutils currently always installs the uncompressed file whether or not the zlib use flag is enabled.

In such case, isn't pciutils[zlib] kind of useless on most setups ? Perhaps it to should install its database uncompress regardless of the useflag ? Unless udev[hwdb] has much less use than it would seem.
udev[hwdb] isn't the default. but this really isn't the place for udev vs zlib. that's Bug 360849.
