Description:
The version of libgpod included in arch's repos is 0.8.3. however this version crashes(Segmentation fault). The issue was remedied upstream however upstream has not released a new version. Given that the package in arch's repos is from 2013, would it be possible to include the patch linked below?

Additional info: Applying this patch fixed Rhythmbox crashex when using its iPod functionality.

This package has been updated since this bug was reported, see:
https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/libgpod/
The program does not segfault on my launching this, so I am assuming this issue has been fixed in version 0.8.3-5

Edit: Meant version 0.8.3-4 not 0.8.3-5 which does not exist.

there's a -5 version?

Sorry that was a typo I meant version 0.8.3-4 :)
Can you check and see if the issue you reported still exists?

Probably does since there's been no update since I reported. Latest build is from March 2015, my report is from July of 2015. I can't test since usbmuxd or something makes me unable to mount. Works on Ubuntu. Probably need a clean installation of Arch.

Oops for some reason I think I got the date of the bug report and the date of the package backwards, my mistake. The version you were using was 0.8.3-5 in the report. Ok. You said that you can't test because usbmuxd makes you unable to mount, does this mean if I created a patched package file for you to test out you could not test? I don't have an iPod so I can't test myself.

Well when I used to use arch and rhythmbox to sync music to my iPod, I used my own compile of libgpod. Wonder if I even have the PKGBUILD anymore...

Anyway, with the upstream patch applied it stopped crashing.

I checked and the diff shown would not be correct from getting from the source file we currently build from and the version b shown in that diff. As this seems like a package that is not going to be updated anymore, but problems have been fixed since they did a last release, (possibly beyond only this one problem? unsure?). The site is being slow for me at the moment, will poke around in the git commit logs later and try and see what is going on with that file. Can you also confirm that you only had to patch that single file? Thanks.

Yeah. I also patched the mono compiler to use mcs since it otherwise did not build.
