nPth 1.8 has been released, cf. <https://dev.gnupg.org/T7387>:

| * Fix npth_cond_signal and npth_cond_broadcast on Windows. [T7386]
| * New function npth_get_version. New macros NPTH_VERSION and
|   NPTH_VERSION_NUMBER.
| * Fix INSERT_EXPOSE_RWLOCK_API for musl C library. [T5664]
| * Add fallback implementation for POSIX semaphore API on macOS. [T7057]
| * Return a run-time error if npth_rwlock_timedrdlock is not supported.
|   [T7109]

However, it seems that the package has seen its last maintainer update
over four years ago. Is there perhaps some way I could help? I could try
packaging the new releases, for instance. Or did I just miss some
activity? Adding an explicit CC for clarification.

Also CC'ing upstream / fellow DD NIIBE Yutaka, as perhaps there are any
further plans on their side.
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2024/11/msg00232.html> actually
reminded me to check on this bug here.

Cheers,
Flo

Until 2024, nPth didn't have new releases since 2018.  In February 2024,
1.7 was released.  And then, 1.8 was released in November 2024.  The
changes in 1.7 and 1.8 are mainly for Windows and other operating
systems.

So, for Debian GNU/Linux itself, it would be OK that we still keep using
version 1.6.

Nevertheless, on Debian, we have the libnpth-mingw-w64-dev package, for
installer on Windows (which uses gpgv.exe).  For this (minor) case, it
would be good to have newer version.

Well, the release keys of GnuPG team have been updated.  For this, I
created a merge request for nPth package on Salsa.

If needed, I will help packaging nPth for Debian.  Please feel free for
ask any help.
