Subject: nbc: please switch to libusb 1.0
Date: Fri, 8 Jan 2016 19:38:21 +0100
Package: nbc
Version: 1.2.1.r4+dfsg-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

nbc has a build-depends on libusb-dev. A few years ago upstream
has released a new major version libusb 1.0 with a different API which
aims to fix design deficiencies with USB 2.0 and 3.0 in mind.

The old libusb 0.1 package is not supported upstream anymore and should
be considered deprecated.

If nbc supports the new libusb 1.0 library, please consider
switching the build-depends from libusb-dev to libusb-1.0-0-dev. If not
please inform upstream that porting the software to the new API is
recommended.

Thanks,
Aurelien

I do not know how to convert the package to use a newer libusb, but just
wanted to mention that a patch to convert t2n to use a newer libusb is
available in <URL: https://bugs.debian.org/810460 >.
