[Pkg-gtkpod-devel] Bug#658538: Further explanation

[Matěj Laitl]

Hello,
to explain further, in order for libgpod to be able to actually write valid 
iPod database on all new models, it needs to know its model, firewire id and 
sometimes more. This information is automatically extracted thanks to udev 
hook from libgpod-common and written to 
<iPod>/iPod_Control/Device/SysInfoExtended every time iPod is plugged in.

I'm an Amarok developer working on iPod support and we've faces several users 
who found their iPod unusable because of missing SysInfoExtended file. For more 
information please see [1].
