libusb changed its repository from CVS to SVN. The last change in the
1.0-polled-async branch was 7 weeks ago.
See: http://libusb.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/libusb/

As far as i know the io is done through usbfs (/dev/bus/usb in Ubuntu)

The development on libusb is not very active, but it isn't dead :-)

Yours sincerely,
