This patch has also been reviewed by Bernd Kuhls, who pointed out that it breaks phidgetwebservice. I have indeed forgotten to check if packages that depend on libphidget still build. Sorry for the confusion. It looks like the review did not make it to the mailing list, or at least I don't see it on lore, so I don't know if you have seen it: On Mon Apr 6, 2026 at 11:31 PM CEST, Bernd Kuhls wrote: > Hi Franciszek, > > Am Mon, 6 Apr 2026 20:48:59 +0200 schrieb Franciszek Stachura: > >> This is also a backward-incompatible upgrade from version 21 to 22 [1]. > > correct, building phidgetwebservice breaks with this bump: > > configure: error: Missing libphidget21; make sure the Phidget21 library is > installed. > >> As an alternative, I would propose removing this package from Buildroot. >> Version 21 was deprecated some time ago and the package has been causing >> the same errors in autobuild, almost daily, for more than a year already >> (see 2024-07-06). > > I also tried sometime ago to fix the packages but stopped due to > complexity and lack of interest. > > @Jonathan: You are listed as maintainer for both packages. > What is your opinion about it? > > Regards, Bernd Jonathan wrote the following in response: On Tue Apr 7, 2026 at 2:52 PM CEST, Jonathan Ben Avraham wrote: > Hi Bernd, Franciszek, > After giving this further thought... > > 1.

The previous version of libphidget does not build on sensible configs, so that's already suboptimal. Would you like me to provide a patch that replaces phidgetwebservice with phidget22networkserver? As I pointed out, I cannot test it, so maybe attempting to bump libphidget was already a bad idea. Should we wait for response from Phidgets? Or maybe it would actually be better to just remove these packages?
