Hi,
I was approached by Vincent Untz as I am the maintainer of libimobiledevice to push the library into openSUSE:Factory.
Further information about the library is available here: http://www.libimobiledevice.org/
Currently confirmed is that Ubuntu, Fedora and Mandriva feature the stack in their next releases and it would be nice if openSUSE 11.3 would not be left behind.
Especially since I am maintaining the packages in my OBS project home:FunkyM:iphone since the early beginnings of the library.
Required new (source) packages are: - usbmuxd - libplist - libimobiledevice - ifuse
This would enable libgpod4 (music/video sync) and GNOME's GVFS (filesystem access) to build with iPhone/iPod Touch support and would be a nice gain for marketing. Rhythmbox, latest Amarok and GTKPod use libgpod and thus will work, too.
The question left is into which project to push the stack alongside the related libraries and how to get it into factory.
Into my mind two projects pop: hardware and multimedia:libs. hardware has things like libusb and libv4l, multimedia:libs has things like libgpod4. The first thing to do is to clean up the packages according to the factory style (for most home project, this means: calling osc vc) and then submit it to the project of your choice. Once they get accepted (and I see no reason why not), you become maintainer of said packages and can submit them to factory.
