in portage. looks like they added udev/hotplug support :)
(In reply to Samuli Suominen from comment #1) > in portage. looks like they added udev/hotplug support :) Yes, they added hotplug support. IMO there are still issues both with API and implementation but libusbx doesn't prioritize getting things right over creating commits and releasing them. Anyway, this comment is about the udev/hotplug relationship.. Probably USE=udev is correct, but I'd like to make sure: Hotplug is always enabled on Linux. --enable-udev means that libusbx will notify applications only after the second netlink message (sent by udevd) is received, while --disable-udev means that libusbx will notify the application after the first netlink message (sent by the kernel) is received. USE=hotplug thus wouldn't be correct IMO, and USE=udev seems like the right thing - yes?
