Bug#260222: ITP: libmqueue -- POSIX message queues library for Linux



> This library has been included in glibc 2.3.4 (04/08/2004 in changelog)
> and will no more actively maintaind by upstream as a separate library.
> I'd like to package libmqueue before sarge to allow sarge users use this
> feature (also, Debian's 2.6 kernel come with CONFIG_POSIX_MQUEUE=y).
> The topic has been breifly discussed on -glibc[1] but I'd like to also
> hear -devel opinions on how much mess could the inclusion of such
> library cause, since as soon as sarge is released a glibc upgrade will
> happen and I'll have to maintain an almost dead library for sarge only.
> If the inclusion into main is not worth the efffort I can still provide
> the library through other means (eg: mentors.debian.net)

I think it's a bad idea to have debian be different from any distro.
Please patch it into Debian glibc or even better update Debian's glibc
to a not-stoneage version.
