usbreset missing from usbutils

[gc-user]

Searching for an usb issue I've been having I came across usbreset which is supposed to be part of the package usbutils.
But there's no usbreset in that package.

So I went building the package locally. The current version v018 didn't build successfully for me, so I build v017, the version that's also in the void repo. It build successfully, but the package didn't contain usbreset either. So I checked the build output which contains "usbreset" a few times. Therefore I interrupted the build process when building the package again and found the usbreset binary in the build directory.

I copied that file and placed it in /usr/bin. Now usbreset is found and runs fine.

So, for some reason usbreset gets build but not included in the package and thus not installed.
I can't tell from the template file why that would / should be the case.

Maybe someone from the dev team can make sense of that strangeness.

upstream intentionally does not install it:

# By default, usbreset does not get installed as it could cause problems, it's
# in the repo for those that wish to try it out.

Thanks for your fast reply.
Ok, that makes sense. Somehow the search results I found never mentioned that... :-)

Wow, thanks for the update, too!
Btw.: I took the hint from the quote and rather not use usbreset. But I appreciate you adding it to the template. I hope I'm not the cause for someone getting into trouble using it, though... :-)
