So, you broke compatibility with existing programs, like usbutils. That's just foolish and dumb. I have loads of distros asking me about this now. Please put the work-around in the library if you really want to change this field name, otherwise, I'm going to have to recommend that no one use libusbx as it's developers really don't care about their users. greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
