Comment 59 for bug 282491

The patch referenced in the July dialogue by "Matt Davey" refers to a modified version of libpsock/usb.c at Pilot-Link-Devel. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I don't see pilot-link as a dependancy with Ubuntu - it isn't even loaded by default. It appears that the pilot-link libraries are compiled into gnome-pilot but the pilot-link package, itself, isn't required. For the record, I have tried to sync with the pilot-link package present and absent without effect.

Additionally, the Pilot-Link-Devel discussion deals with the libpsock library yet looking at the properties of both gnome-pilot and pilot-link show no libpsock present, only a libpisock. Is the library discussed even in the Ubuntu 8.10 distribution and if it actually is, wouldn't the change discussed in the July dialogue have been incorporated?

I do wonder why the device identities are hard coded into a library. Reading the data from a file would make much more sense.
