Bump to libftdi1 #6

Closed navaati closed 11 years ago

navaati commented 11 years ago

libftdi1 is the most common version in distros now, and as a side note libftdi-0.20 is broken on my distro (Gentoo, the libftdi.pc has an empty Version field which prevents papilio-prog to build, the problem is from upstream, Debian corrects it I don't know how).

dpavlin commented 11 years ago

This change broke compile on Debian sid (unstable) so I suspect it will also break Ubuntu builds. Can we make check somewhat more specific to Gentoo instead of breaking all other distros?

navaati commented 11 years ago

Uh, oh, wait... Debian's package is called libftdi1 but contains libftdi 0.20, WTF !? So yeah, I guess we can revert the whole thing.

navaati commented 11 years ago

Fedora has v0.20 too, but names it the right way. Seems libftdi 0.20 is the most common version out there so let's stay on it atm.

We have a (mostly harmless) Debian bug here tho.
