Newer ipods (namely the Ipod Classic and Ipod touch) work somewhat different than old ipod used to. libgpod was bumped to Version 0.6.0 a few days ago that supports the newer devices, even though for some you'll have to jump through a few hoops. I added some einfo for owners of newer Ipod models to give a short howto about what has to be done, apart from that the ebuild is pretty much the 0.5.2 one (without a patch that 0.5.2 applies). I tested it with amarok-1.4.99 (current SVN) and it works with my Ipod Classic. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 135961 [details] ebuild for libgpod-0.6.0 New ebuild for libgpod 0.6.0 that works with amarok-1.4.99 and probably other media players and supports newer ipods.
Any word on getting this into the portage tree?
its in.. FYI, you missed quite a few things in the attached ebuild (as you can see in the one thats in the tree)
