Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-11
Severity: wishlist
Please correct me if I'm wrong, or am missing documentation out there
that covers this. But if a user patches their kernel headers for a
custom compile (while still using kernel-package and such), is there a
recommended way of rolling those include file changes to the main system
where they won't be overriden by libc6-dev updates and such?
My main reason for this is I increased the number of file descriptors
for my system in my kernel.
include/linux/posix_types.h: __FD_SETSIZE 16384
include/linux/limits.h: NR_OPEN 16384 / OPEN_MAX 16384
include/linux/fs.h: INR_OPEN 16384 / NR_FILE 16384
And while the system is aware of it (ulimit and such works fine),
programs that rely on including 'sys/types.h' and such get rolled down
to 1024. So, what would be the recommended way of doing such things in
a debian system (and if there is a best prcatices, should it be included
in a readme with libc6-dev? As I would imagine there are a few people
who change some defines, and may not be aware that upgrades to this
package may roll the changes back)?
I would guess that using /usr/local/* would be one way to do it, and of
course you would have to edit the include path to reflect such things as
well. Or is it feasible to symlink/copy the kernel headers to
/usr/include/linux in some way as they would not be overriden? (using
equivs in some way maybe?).

Exactly.

OK, I close this bug.
