I have been working on an update for some time. As you found out, 3.9 is obsolete already and the development has moved to GitHub. The current upstream maintainers are not interested in making releases so I will have to package git snapshots. SIMH being a collection of lots of different simulators with often different licenses, not to mention plenty of embedded (non-free or completely unclear licensed) firmware, it takes a lot of time to get right while I am also working on other complex packages. For that matter I have already packaged simtools (still in experimental), which are all the tools that were split out of SIMH upstream into their own repository.
