libgpod 0.6.0 was released a week or so ago. This release supports the newer iPod models (iPhone, iTouch, Classics, and "Fat" Nanos). I'd like to push this into rawhide tomorrow and let it get some testing. I'll rebuild amarok, gtkpod, kipi-plugins, and rhythmbox at the same time. This is definitely something I think warrants an update for F-8 and F-7 after stewing in rawhide for a week or so. The version in F-7 was already getting old before this latest release. Coupled with the support for a lot of new hardware, I believe it is a compelling and worthwhile update even on the stable dists. While the library soname has been bumped, the changes are not very invasive and none of the apps using libgpod need more than a recompile. Gtkpod is by far the most serious tester of the lib and it's current release (0.99.10) doesn't even need any changes to work with the update libgpod. I've compile and runtime tested amarok, kipi-plugins, and rhythmbox as well and all of them WORKFORME. What I'd love some testing with is newer iPod models. There will be a README.SysInfo file in the updated package that details some steps to take to get things working with those newer iPods. There's also some HAL integration that is intended to automate much of this for users. Finding out just how well that all works and fixing any bugs there before pushing it to the stable dists would be excellent. That way Fedora can have very good iPod support for all those folks picking up new toys in the coming months. :) The alternative is to tell users that they'll have to wait until spring to support iPod models that have been out since last spring and (and will have been supported in other distros for many months by that point). Are there any objections to this plan? -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ INDECISION is the key to FLEXIBILITY.
