The following reply was made to PR ports/58925; it has been noted by GNATS. From: ANdrei <andrei@abc.ro> To: undisclosed-recipients: ; Cc: Subject: Re: ports/58925: bug in BSD port of devel libusb with fix Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2003 15:27:21 +0200 i can confirm that the fix is working. i was having probelms using a HP Photosmart camera with the PTP driver, was receiving timeouts... been searching for a fix for 2 weeks, when Mariusz Woloszyn told me that they found this bug... after editing by hand the libusb sources, and recompiling, everything worked ok, without any other software update or smtg else... i did not notice any other problems since than, other than little synchronization problems when stressing the camera/USB by turning it off, then back on quickly and running gphoto2 --auto-detect in the same time on a 400MHz (old!) machine... but i think this is not at all related to the patch, which is working fine. i'd recommend patching the current port of libusb so that this problem is fixed and posting a note or smtg about this, as i've seen at least a dozen people having posted related problems in various forums, from Germany to Australia... maybe a notice on the gPhoto homepage would be a good idea, if there's any need i can write a short description/how-to on this thema, publish it on my page and somebody can put a link to it there... anyway, thanks to all the people working on this! and if i should write the how-to (only if there's interest in linking from the gPhoto2-page to it), just mail me and let me know... if not, it's futile work in my opinion, and i shall not do it... i could write a fairly complete tutorial on using ur digital camera through the PTP driver on FreeBSD, with all the probs i got into, and the fixes i found... there are some things which need a bit of time/experience to get a camera working here...
