Are there a lot of programmers concerned? Important ones? > Is there a timeline for dropping libusb-0.1? Jeremy Bícha has decided it's going to happen now. That's why avrdude is scheduled for removal from testing. > Any consideration for > introducing libusb-compat-0.1? I don't want to introduce this, as it just introduces its own set of bugs. But if someone wants to maintain it, I won't oppose. In any case if you can already do an upload with the libftdi1-dev change, that would already be one step in the good direction.
