The situation with GNU pth is: * pth in debian is orphaned (#543857) * the last upstream relase is from 08-Jun-2006 (2.0.7) * the last release was mainly updating copyright + updating autotool files * I tried to contact upstream (Ralf S. Engelschall), while doing the first versions of semaphore support for pth, but failed to get an answer. * I don't remember an answer from Ralf S. Engelschall on the pth-users list in the last year(s). pthsem up to 2.0.7 is GNU pth with some patches applied (semaphore support, valgrind support and various fixes). As upstream seams to be dead, I decided to "fork" in the upcoming release. Please look at: http://bcusdk.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=bcusdk/bcusdk;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/pthsem/master * pthsem is now able to cope with system time changes, if it can use a monotonic clock. * moved to automake based build system * GIT repository does not contain any autotool generated files any more, so they get updated at every checkout. * compat package for building pth applications with pthsem * includes lintian clean debian packaging (derived from the "offical" debian packages) pthsem is an essential dependency of linknx/eibd, so it tested by its users on various plattforms (x86 and various embedded linux variants).
