Bug#864463: linux-headers-4.9.0-3-common-rt: Detecting -rt source with localversion-rt
Package: linux-headers-4.9.0-3-common-rt
Version: 4.9.30-1
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
Using linux-headers-4.9.0-3-common-rt with lttng-modules-dkms causes a FTBFS because the -rt and non-rt APIs are different.
lttng-modules-dkms includes a mechanism to auto-detect the use of -rt source but this requires the presence of the localversion-rt file in the source tree, which is not currently included in the headers package.
Without that file I can't see any obvious way to discover that -rt patches are applied or to which rt-patchlevel.
Can you please either include this file in the headers package or let the maintainer of lttng-modules-dkms know what is the preferred alternate method to discover that?
