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
