Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))
When attempting to update the usbids package, a checksum mismatch is detected and refuses (correctly) to update the package.

I don't see how this port is ever going to work since the download file doesn't have a version to it. It will always fail w/ checksum errors upon ever release.

Coming from a Gentoo (portage) background, can this not be handled as a post-process event upon installation of its companion package? To keep the database up-to-date, perhaps a cronjob to handle downloading the updated database periodically.
comment:6 Changed 8 years ago by lbschenkel (Leonardo Brondani Schenkel)
I agree that the approach taken by this port is very fragile. When I introduced this port in https://trac.macports.org/ticket/52376 I tried other approaches (including downloading the latest version on the fly like the FreeBSD port does) but they were not accepted by the reviewers.
Besides what I already suggested on that ticket, the only other solution I can think of is that I could create a repo in GitHub to host a snapshot of the file and point the port to the repo instead.
comment:7 Changed 8 years ago by kurthindenburg (Kurt Hindenburg)
That might be an idea - another is asking author to add the version to the file name; either the current date version or a generic # version.

In fact, the PCI ID database is already using the Git repo method: https://github.com/pciutils/pciids
comment:11 Changed 8 years ago by lbschenkel (Leonardo Brondani Schenkel)
That is great. I was not aware that the repo existed and I will change the port to use it. However, I'm overseas on vacation so it may take 2 weeks.
comment:12 Changed 8 years ago by starthal (Stephen Albert)
I contacted the usb.ids maintainer to ask about replicating the repo.

We might want to piggyback off this repo:
https://github.com/gentoo/hwids
It has both pci ids and usb ids as well as some other stuff. The usb ids are supposed to be from the same source this port is using. It was updated 6 times in 2016 so that is not a bad schedule. Last release was Nov 3, 2016:
https://github.com/gentoo/hwids/archive/hwids-20161103.tar.gz

BTW, the ioreg
command provides similar information to that of lsusb:

The last device on the list is a fairly obscure IR receiver manufactured by Home Electronics in Canada.

Equivalent output for lsusb is:

I'm back from vacation. I misread https://trac.macports.org/ticket/53188#comment:10 and didn't realize it was for the PCI database instead of the USB database.
How do you suggest proceeding from here?
- I can create a GitHub repo right now to host a snapshot of
usb.ids
- We can leverage the existing
gentoo/hwids
repo, but I need to create a PR against it to update the USB database to a newer version than 2016-11-14 - ...something else?
I'm inclined to take option 1 since I'm the maintainer of this port and everything needed will be under my control. In case there's a repo out that is updated often (I'm not sure if option 2 qualifies) then I don't object using it since it simplifies things a bit for me.

@ctreleaven No, it is not similar to any tool on mac and that's why usbutils is crucial (and it fails to install because this package is a dependency). Try lsusb -v and you will see. This is what I want to see on mac. And there's no other tool that does it. Installing macports just for this is already painful enough. Subscribing for any news.

The maintainer of usb.ids (Stephen Gowdy) has set up this repo in response to my request:
https://github.com/usbids/usbids
This might make things easier to maintain.

Wonderful. Thank you Stephen, I have updated my PR.

I ran into this problem with a MacPorts that had been updated late February 2017. Just selfupdated now and was able to install usbutils with no checksum problem.
The error that is produced that shows the checksum mismatch.
