The apps which use libgpod may not offer those models in their ipod selections, but the support hasn't changed much other than the artwork support -- which I understand is mostly related to cover flow. > You can find SRPMS for those here, but I've only built these for > Fedora 10.

I've built packages, but haven't put them up anywhere yet. I'll have to build for x86_64 and post them to my fedorapeople.org account. I'll work on building libgpod-0.7.0rc1, gtkpod-0.99.13SVN, and rhythmbox for x86_64 and post those builds along with the i386 builds that I have already done in the next few days. > I then rebuilt the rhythmbox already in CVS against the new libgpod, > too.

We expect to have libgpod-0.7.0 released sometime in the next few weeks, FWIW. Once released, I'll build these for rawhide as quickly as possible. Hopefully after some testing there, we'll push updates back to F-10 (and *maybe* F-9). > My rebuilt gtkpod thus far had the fewest problems, especially after > I read the included documentation in > /usr/share/gtkpod/doc/the-sysinfo-file.html. You really shouldn't have to do any of this manually. If you do, then there's a bug with the libgpod HAL support. I've had a few random reports of this sort, but no one yet has been able to help pinpoint what might have gone wrong so we haven't been able to find and fix any bugs that might be present there. The goal is that plugging in an iPod should cause libgpod's hal callout to setup the SysInfoExtended file automagically. Any help in identifying cases where this does not work would be greatly appreciated. I'll do my best to make sure that we get such things fixed upstream so everyone can benefit. :) -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To err is human; to blame it on somebody else is even more human. -- John Nadeau
