Probably from mk/libusb.buildlink3.mk (although it can be read as a claim purely about libusb-compat, totally independent of libusb1): # This Makefile is meant to be included by packages that require an # implementation of the former libusb (still found in devel/libusb). The # original implementation can be chosen by setting LIBUSB_TYPE to "native". # # The alternative implementation libusb-compat (found 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. # # User-settable variables: # # LIBUSB_TYPE # The name of the libusb implementation to default to, native or compat. # -Olaf. -- ___ "Buying carbon credits is a bit like a serial killer paying someone else to \X/ have kids to make his activity cost neutral." -The BOFH falu.nl@rhialto
