Bug#428852: Please add tipc_config.h



Package: linux-libc-dev
Version: 2.6.21-4
Severity: wishlist

I packaged the new Debian package "tipcutils" which includes tipc-config. This 
is a tool needed to configure the TIPC Protocol, which is included in the 
official Linux kernel since version 2.6.16 and in the Debian linux-image in 
e.g. version 2.6.21-4.

This tool needs a headerfile while building. It can be found at 
include/linux/tipc_config.h in the official kernel sources. Could you please 
include this in linux-libc-dev?

The includes

#include <linux/types.h>
#include <linux/string.h>

in this file are actually not needed since their content is protected by an
#ifdef __KERNEL__
anyway. In my opinion it might be a good idea to replace them with

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <string.h>

So far I included tipc_config.h in the tipcutils package. I'm going to remove 
this file and include <linux/tipc_config.h> again as soon as this bug is 
closed.

Thanks,
Martin
