Wow, your on top of it... ok so author has updated upstream code to version 0.95 (which includes your fix) .... alright, so i've just built a chinook binary and package (which i'll link later), BUT...

The bora build is giving issues with platform.c @ the include /usr/include/pthread.h (around 12 identical errors of :
error: systax error before '*' token

Those lines (441, 446, 449, etc..) all seem to point to compiler not understanding the pthread_rwlock_t type.

This error is new to v0.95. It seems other's are receiving this error : http://transmission.m0k.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3159


Any ideas?

Regarding availability of sources, sure. I probably would have checked into garage svn the source once things settled a bit. And the deb can be reverse engineered with linux archiver and repackaged with pypackager. Was this request something you are interested in personally (perhaps you have plans?) or just ensuring good 'citizenship' ? If you have plans for this, let me know what you need.
