Interesting, I notice the greater latency you mention on FC4

with FC3, but for some reason the older pilot-link is more tolerant of
the increased delay. I am using a locally built-from-SRPM on FC4
version of pilot-link-0.11.8-3 which has a patch to enable the Perl
bindings (which I need for SyncBBDB). Have you tried rebuilding the
earlier binaries from the last FC3 SRPM on your new FC4 installation
and using them?
Yes. Also using the FC3 binary rpm directly, and using a static linked
FC3 pilot-xfer.
There is a narrow window which I can hit now I know I am aiming for
getting to /dev/ttyUSB1 as early as possible with any of those. I have
only been attempting to get it working at all so just using the list
function - rather than seriously using pilot-xfer to do work.
Personally I think that we should just drop everything back down to a
0.11.x pilot-tools release and use a tool chain which basically works
throughout - although it will be painful to release a down-reved update
due to packaging side effects.
Maybe I should open a bug against udev/hotplug to see why things are so
damn slow now.
