Understanding dependencies between various Open Source projects

[ian-morgan99]

Hello.

I am currently trying to use 'Astroberry Server' to control my telescope and camera equipment on my Raspberry Pi.
As far as I can tell, 'Astroberry Server' uses 'Ekos' to access 'IndiLib' to access camera equipment.
Indilib uses a library called Gphoto to access specific cameras.
As far as I can tell, Gphoto claims that for Pentax cameras, to add support for new cameras, that camera must be added to the PkTriggerCord libraries. I am not sure how their library references this one.

In addition, separately, I am also using a Benro Polaris tripod mount. That tripod mount is able to control camera equipment.
I have asked the developers to refer to this project to be able to control Pentax cameras. They didn't respond on that.
However, I also asked the developers to refer to Gphoto, and they have confirmed that they are referring to that.
Given that Gphoto claims to refer to PKTriggerCord, I assume that all roads are leading back here :)

So my questions are:
If the K3iii and K1ii should now function in here, is there any reason that you can think of that they may not be fully supported with LiveView in those two projects?

As far as I can tell, the Astroberry project allows for remote shutter control of the K1ii, but not the K3iii.
The Benro Polaris project (Using GPhoto, using PKtriggercord) has no support for either.

Is it possible that they both just took old copies, and they need updating?
Is it possible that the changes made here, need to be flushed through to GPhoto and IndiLib in some way?

Please forgive my newbie question , as I really don't quite understand all the project dependencies :)

Is it possible that the support added for K1ii and K3iii is not in a 'formally released version', and that is why they don't see it?

From what I'm reading here, both these projects may be relying on an old fork:

#68

Does anyone know how those forks can be brought up to date?
