Sorry that I don't get it: Pino said on November 30:
22:17:19< gnu_srs1> How much work is needed to support fakeroot-sysv?
22:17:50< pinotree> implement sysv shared memory
And you claim that it is implemented already, so why do we use
fakeroot-tcp, and not fakeroot-sysv?
and:

Q1) What is the relation between fakeroot-sysv and SysV shared memory?
Q2) fakeroot-sysv use IPC and semaphores. IPC is supported, but only
for in-process semaphores are: Complete semaphore support is needed for
fakeroot-sysv to work properly?
Q3) What is the current status of fakeroot-hurd? Would that be a better
alternative for the wholee fakeroot issue?
