Hi! Thanks for the patch. Unfortunately libgpod has no dedicated maintainer. I'm adding in CC some packagers who touched the package at some point, but maybe you should consider maintaining it? You seem to have commit rights although no push rights yet.
Comment 3 Samuel Verschelde 2015-09-22 10:06:24 CEST 
Actually adding some packagers in CC.

libgpod is now fixed for Cauldron and mga5 (Core/Updates_testing) too.

Please test this new update to check if the segfault is resolved or not.
Comment 5 Zombie Ryushu 2015-09-22 22:43:48 CEST 
Will do.

Ping: Zombie.  Did you get a chance to test this?
Comment 8 Zombie Ryushu 2015-10-14 23:19:30 CEST 
Yes, they work. At least on my iPod Shuffle
Comment 9 David Walser 2015-10-14 23:21:06 CEST 
(In reply to Zombie Ryushu from comment #8)
> Yes, they work. At least on my iPod Shuffle

Thanks!  Which architecture are you running?
Comment 10 David Walser 2015-10-14 23:35:02 CEST 
Assigning to QA since the fix was verified by the reported.  Marking OK for i586 as it installs cleanly there.  Hopefully Zombie can verify which architecture he tested.

Advisory:

The libgpod package has been patched to fix a crash when communicating with
some iOS devices (such as the iPod Shuffle).

Comment 11 Zombie Ryushu 2015-10-14 23:57:49 CEST 
x86_64. However my older Generation iPod is not representative of most MTP iPods in circulation as my iPod is a USB Mass Storage Device iPod of the older models.

Old Generation iPods have to have the libgpod.rules file removed from udev before they can be used as they are not MTP devices. 

Both MTP and USB Mass Storage iPods are susceptible to this crash.  This patch fixes that problem.

This Patch does NOT fix detection of older USB Mass Storage iPod types not being detected.
Comment 12 David Walser 2015-10-15 00:37:30 CEST 
OK, I guess there's a bug in the udev rules file.  You could file a separate bug for that if you like.

Please push this to core/updates.
