I pulled the libs from CVS and SVN and rebuilt the packages. All went
well.

But when rebuilding Banshee, I get this (no iPod DAP support):

##############################################
banshee-0.10.11

    Install Prefix:    /usr
    C Compiler:        gcc
    Mono C# Compiler:  /usr/lib/pkgconfig/../../bin/mcs
    Mono Runtime:      /usr/lib/pkgconfig/../../bin/mono

    Engines:
      GStreamer:       yes, 0.10
      Helix Remote:    no
      VLC:             no

    Digital Audio Players (DAP):
      iPod:            no
      NJB:             no

    DAAP Support:      yes, Avahi
##############################################

Looking in config.log I see this:

##############################################
configure:22050: checking for IPODSHARP
configure:22059: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "ipod-sharp >=
$IPODSHARP_REQUIRED
        ipod-sharp < 0.6.0"
Requested 'ipod-sharp < 0.6.0' but version of ipod-sharp is 0.6.0
configure:22063: $? = 1
configure:22080: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "ipod-sharp >=
$IPODSHARP_REQUIRED
        ipod-sharp < 0.6.0"
Requested 'ipod-sharp < 0.6.0' but version of ipod-sharp is 0.6.0
configure:22084: $? = 1
Requested 'ipod-sharp < 0.6.0' but version of ipod-sharp is 0.6.0
##############################################

However, I launched banshee-0.10.11 compiled with the old (non-CVS)
libraries, and now it sees the iPod! I was able to synchronize it.

Very weird, but in the end I'm happy it works.

So, I take it there's a series of new versions (Banshee and libs)
released by the Banshee project soon? ;-)
