This switch is meant to be used by packages requiring an implementation of the
former libusb (as in devel/libusb). The original implementation can be
chosen by setting LIBUSB_TYPE to "native".
The alternative implementation libusb-compat (as in devel/libusb-compat) wraps
libusb1 (in devel/libusb1). This implementation can be chosen by setting
LIBUSB_TYPE to "compat". On NetBSD, it has the advantage of not requiring root
privileges to locate and use USB devices without a kernel driver.
This second part switches packages using libusb to this framework. It does not
change compilation options or dependencies at this point.
Compile-tested on most packages affected and available on NetBSD/amd64.
LIRC is a package that supports receiving and sending IR signals of
the most common IR remote controls. It contains a daemon that decodes
and sends IR signals, a mouse daemon that translates IR signals to
mouse movements and a couple of user programs that allow to control
your computer with a remote control.
Tested on RHEL.
