[libhid-discuss] Assert Error

[Blaine Booher]

Hey everyone,
I am getting the same error when trying to use libhid's python module as
described here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=476525

A comment was made that the bug was fixed, and would be available at
Debian's download "soon". That message was posted December 13 (last week)
but the trunk still shows the last update as being in October. I have
downloaded the latest SVN release but am still getting the assert error.

Any suggestions? Is there another location to pull the latest source
from?

Thanks!

Sorry, this was the first time I heard about the need for a patch.
Usually, bugs like this in the Debian BTS are tagged "upstream", and
they CC the maintainer. I guess it slipped through the cracks this time.

If they say that the bug will be fixed in Debian's archive, then you
should be able to find the patch in their archive as well. I don't
know how that works for NMUs, though.

Debian's libhid package is based on an SVN snapshot from 2006. You
may find other differences between that and the current trunk.

Thanks for the reply!
Is there another location to get libhid? Am I unique in this problem? I
can go back to an older version if necessary, I'm just not sure where to
look.

The source for the Debian packages is always available from Debian:

http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/libhid

It turns out the problem was reported, but the workaround was not to
use SWIG.

the SVN trunk should be up-to-date now.
