Description:
I'm using a keylok dongle for software licensing. Currently arch uses libusb-compat which wraps libusb-1.0. Programs that use the provided static keylok driver will lock up and crash while accessing the dongle with this library. I speculate it's because the keylok lib locks and releases the device too quickly during some operations. Using libusb-0.1.12 for libusb-compat fixes these problems. Additional info: I've attached a PKGBUILD which uses libusb-0.1.12 as the base for libusb-compat instead of the new wrapper. I had problems trying to get a direct download link working with sourceforge (direct download called the file "download"). |
This task depends upon
else rebuild the packages. I cannot do anything here.
