* Package name : librtpi Version : 1.0.0 Upstream Contact: Gratian Crisan <gratian.cri...@ni.com> * URL : https://gitlab.com/linux-rt/librtpi/ * License : LGPL Programming Lang: C, C++ Description : realtime capable pthread locking primitives The Real-Time Priority Inheritance Library (librtpi) is intended to bridge the gap between the glibc pthread implementation and a functionally correct priority inheritance for pthread locking primitives, such as pthread_mutex and pthread_condvar. Specifically, priority based wakeup is required for correct operation, in contrast to the more time-based ordered wakeup groups in the glibc pthread condvar implementation. Why is this needed: This library is needed to implement realtime capable waiting on condition variables, due to glibc bug 11588 [1] which will not be fixed. Who will maintain it: I'm not yet a Debian maintainer, so a co-maintainer / sponsor will be needed anyways. In general, it would be good if this package could be maintained by a team. The expected effort is pretty low, as the library is easy to package. [1] https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11588 Best regards, Felix Moessbauer Siemens AG
