I would like to request an ebuild for rioutil-1.4.7. The problem is rioutil has two interfaces: usbdevfs and libusb. Previously, libusb did not work to well. But now, usbdevfs does not compile against kernel 2.6.x without a patch. At first I tried updating the patch, but it turns out libusb works just fine. So the patch is not needed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Copy rioutil-1.4.4.ebuild to rioutil-1.4.7 2.Remove the line that says: epatch "${FILESDIR}/${P}-26headers.patch" With libusb, the patch is not needed. 3.Replace the line that says: econf --with-usbdevfs || die with: econf || die 4.Then it should compile properly. Actual Results: rioutil-1.4.7 works with libusb on kernel-2.6.x Expected Results: rioutil-1.4.7 works with libusb on kernel-2.6.x I'm sorry if I'm not posting this bug correctly. I've never tried requesting an ebuild before.
Created attachment 53034 [details] Preliminary rioutil-1.4.7 ebuild Here's the ebuild I used to get rioutil-1.4.7 installed. When using libusb, (which may need to be added as a dependancy) the kernel-2.6.x patch is not needed. I tried updating the patch provided with rioutil-2.4.4 so that I could use usbdevfs, but I found it simpler to just use libusb instead.
version bump added.
