Why? libusb isn't any more in the official repos.
Arch now have libusbx, but I still need libusb to at least test some
software to see if it works well with it, because libusbx may be the
present/future but so far officially only in Arch...
There's a script [1] that updates the blacklist in the database. After
its next run, you should be able to upload libusb to the AUR.
[1] https://projects.archlinux.org/aur.git/tree/scripts/aurblup/aurblup.c
I spoke too soon. It appears that the script also adds
provides/replaces to the database, so the AUR still won't accept
libusb.
If it's just for testing, you can build libusb locally; there isn't
much benefit to pushing it to the AUR.
Ok, I understand, I probably will put it in my personal stuff, so no
need to AUR, if in some way libusbx breaks apps that use libusb (and
libusb still exist at that time and I still need it) then I may add it
but with a name like libusb_compatibility.
