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.

either because they themselves are not ready or because a
dependency isn't. This is annotated by
PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE= 33 # not yet ported as of x.y.z
or
PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE= 33 # py-foo, py-bar
respectively, please use the same style for other packages,
and check during updates.
Use versioned_dependencies.mk where applicable.
Use REPLACE_PYTHON instead of handcoded alternatives, where applicable.
Reorder Makefile sections into standard order, where applicable.
Remove PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCLUDE_3X lines since that will be default
with the next commit.
Whitespace cleanups and other nits corrected, where necessary.
libhid is a rewrite of libHID[0] and aims to provide the same functionality
from a more organised framework. It aims to provide a layer of abstraction for
accessing HID-class devices over USB or serial lines (similar to what libusb
provides for the base USB protocol).
http://www.ghz.cc/~clepple/libHID/doc/html/
libhid has been designed because it is needed in two other projects
(libphdigets and nut). As such, it does not have a complete featureset yet but
is rather a work in progress (alpha state). We invite everyone to contribute
or get in touch with us for additional features.
