usbutils 0.86 release

usbutils 0.86 release

[Greg KH]

Here's the 0.86 release of usbutils.

There's a few minor fixups for the usb-devices script, as well as a
patch to help make fetching HID descriptors a bit more robust.

And a number of build configuration fixes as well.

The tarballs can be downloaded from sf.net at:
	https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3581

Or directly from kernel.org now:
	http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/usb/usbutils/

We've switched over to using git for development now, which makes things
much easier than the old cvs tree.  The tree can be found on both
kernel.org and github.com if you want to fork it and send us changes
easier:
	http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usbutils.git
	http://github.com/gregkh/usbutils/tree/master

thanks,

Ok, I take that back, they can't be downloaded from the sf.net site as I
can't figure out how to upload a new version there with the "improved"
interface they have now provided.

So for the near future, usbutils releases will be found on kernel.org as
it's just so damm simpler than a 4-part multi-form-javascript-lunacy
that sf.net seems to now rely on.
