This is actually an empty dummy package that just does a
ln -snf /usr/src/linux/include/{linux,asm} /usr/include/
(i.e., the real kernel headers are used instead of Debian's version).
According to KPackage that includes a lot more symlinks than just those two.
(e.g. /usr/include/{apm.h,do_timer.h} )
Also according to KPackage most of those symlinks are missing so it's
impossible to know where they should be pointing to. (For some
symlinks it seems that KPackage is giving false information - the
symlinks are present, only the files they point to are missing).
The source package contained no files and was probably therefore never
uploaded to alioth. But you are right, it SHOULD be there. Mea culpa.
I will fix it when I'm back home.
"linux-kernel-headers-knoppix" says that it provides "linux-kernel-headers".
So where are these headers if it only contains symlinks?
Anything else missing?
Yes, the actual kernel-headers, which are provided by
"linux-kernel-headers-knoppix"
If I'm supposed to download them from kernel.org, then there are few problems:
0. "linux-kernel-headers-knoppix" claims to provide them, but doesn't,
so this should be clearly documented somewhere.
From /usr/src/knoppix-kernel.README
1. What was the "currentmost STABLE vanilla Linux kernel" at the time
you created Knoppix 4.0.2 CD?
2. Where to get proper xfs-patch (There are no patches at www.xfs.org )
3. After patching kernel-source, how/where am I supposed to "install"
the headers. (I could probably figure this out after I get all the
symlinks which linux-kernel-headers-knoppix includes)
