[Pkg-gtkpod-devel] Bug#660362: libgpod4: Erases database on iOS2-using devices

[Ulrik]

Package: libgpod4
Version: 0.8.2-4
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Using libgpod together with gtkpod and an iPod Touch 2 generation.
Device sold with iOS2, still using iOS2 (iOS4 widely reported to slow
down the device, apple doesn't care about this "old" thing).

libgpod hardcodes the iOS version to use for each device and hardcodes
iOS4 for my device. This results in writing a database to the device
that is not compatible.

Expected behavior would be: Warn about incompatibility or detect
version, or allow customization of iOS version to use.

The reason I'm not using the latest version: I'm using 0.8.2-4 but
patched by me to hardcode IOS2 for my device instead.
