What is the target BTW? Just remind a remark I made some time ago
(august 2008):
“in the Failed part of hurd-i386, 178 packages out of 1320 fail at
least because of inclusion of #include <linux/...> (there could be other
[packages of this type] hidden by other compilation problems). That's
2.29% of the 7748 packages in our wanna-build database!... And we still
have 1952 packages in the dep-wait state, a lot of them probably include
<linux/...> too...”
Some updated figures: now this is 220 packages out of 1404 failed, out
of total 8560, which thus makes 2.33%. On top of that, 31 (0.31%) can be
added that use <asm/types.h>.
So in a word it could be estimated that at least 5% of the packages do
some #include <linux/...> already. Of course there are a lot more other
kinds of issues. That's why I'm afraid just fixing some key packages
won't be enough, all maintainers should get involved.
