I hereby request the authorization to upload libmtp 0.3.6 to unstable.
Since version 0.3.0-1 of the package, uploaded to experimental on June 30,
2008, the SOVERSION was bumped to libmtp8. The current version in unstable
(0.2.6.1-3) has libmtp7.
I looked at the packages that build-depend on libmtp-dev. Here is the
current situation:
* amarok
The version currently in experimental (2.0.1.1-1) depends already on
libmtp8. Nothing to do here.
* audacious-plugins
Version 1.5.1-2 needs a patch to src/mtp_up/mtp.c like the one attached
below. The package compiles fine but I did not tested it with an MTP
device.
* banshee
I could not build this package in my sid/experimental system because of a
complex web of dependencies starting with cli-common-dev. However, Ubuntu
intrepid has version 1.2.1-3ubuntu1 that depends on libmtp8.
* gnomad2
Ubuntu has already done the transition since intrepid (version
2.9.1-1ubuntu1). I advice to just apply the Ubuntu patch [1] to the
Debian package.

* mtpfs
Version 0.9 currently in experimental builds fine without changes against
libmtp-dev 0.3.6.
* rhythmbox
Version 00.11.6-1 needs a patch to plugins/mtpdevice/rb-mtp-source.c like
the one attached below. The package compiles fine but I did not tested it
with an MTP device.
If nobody objects, I will upload libmtp 0.3.6 to unstable in the next days.
If the maintainers of the packages mentioned above take too much time to
react, I will file appropriate bug reports.
Thanks,
