Hope that you get it :]
I think that perhaps if struct semaphore is the same size of int
client_count, then perhaps the size are the same, but I would be really
You're totally right, I have looked to quickly, sorry. Actually, I was biased by the fact the upstream announce with this new version that the compatibility has been restored, which is false.

The bad thing is that this bug is more serious than I thought initially. There is no need to warn the user to use a different i2c.h, as the structure i2c_adapter *shall* be identical in both files.

I am currently working with the upstream on a patch. I already have one, but as I am not familiar with i2c core code and semaphores, I prefer to discuss it before applying it to the Debian package.

For the RM team reading this mail (if you are reading it), I think it will be possible to close this bug in 1 to 3 days (+ 2 days to propagate to testing), as the upstream is usally very reactive, and also present on IRC during the evening (CET time).

Bye,
Aurelien
