Hey Thomas,

On libusb:

There are different versions of this around. You can easily see that we
have libusb-compat and libusbx in IPFire 3:
http://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-3.x.git;a=blob;f=libusb-compat/libusb-compat.nm;h=a2c594534d956066dab591feeb7b1f3596bc0178;hb=HEAD
http://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-3.x.git;a=blob;f=libusbx/libusbx.nm;h=6394d04577bbbf0de555d727f19c0f2f016e6e28;hb=HEAD

Some packages haven't moved to libusb-1 and I think they will never do
that. So if you need libusb-1, please build libusbx like you find it in
IPFire 3, but keep the older version. There is no need to rename it to
libusb-compat though.

On dbus:

I suppose you could update that, but I cannot see if anything is
actually using it. It's mainly there for building packages which link
against libdbus.

On systemd:

IPFire 2 is in maintainance mode. We do not plan to develop more
functionality and we would like to slowly move to IPFire 3.

I can see that you have a lot of energy in building packages and I like
that. Maybe you can put a bit of that energy into IPFire 3.
