[Request] libimobiledevice-git, usbmuxd-git

[fmc000]

Package:

https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/libimobiledevice-git https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/usbmuxd-git

Depends: https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/libusbmuxd-git ... https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/libimobiledevice-glue-git ... ... https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/libplist-git

Purpose:

libimobiledevice is a cross-platform FOSS library written in C to communicate with iOS devices natively.

Benefits:

The -git tree implements all the fixes that are needed to insure that backup and restore operations of devices running iOS >= 14 continue to work. Archlinux provides the official released packages that are more than four years old and dont't work with the vast majority of Apple devices.

This is an example of an issue opened long ago on github (it refers to Debian but it's the same for Arch):

https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice/issues/1439

There are a few threads regarding this issue on bbs.archlinux.org .

More information:

The website: https://libimobiledevice.org/ includes all the other software components of this project but only the four I'm requesting are needed for backup / restore operations.
