Package: openafs-modules-source
Version: 1.4.8.dfsg1-3
Severity: important
OpenAFS's module build system establishes MODLOAD-*/{h,netinet,sys} as
symlinks to what it understands to be the relevant kernel's
.../include/linux directory to support #include directives that for
historical and portability reasons specify different directory names.
As of Debian's official 2.6.29-1 kernel packaging, that no longer
works, as the target directory contains only those few headers that
actually embed flavor-specific information; previous versions
supplemented them with symlinks to the remaining headers (in a
parallel -common tree), but the bug report (#521515) requesting the
symlinks' reinstatement met with little sympathy, so OpenAFS will
presumably have to adapt.
As outlined in #521515, the best way forward for OpenAFS is probably
to arrange for h, netinet, and sys to be actual directories containing
appropriate forwarding headers. Determining the set of paths
requiring such treatment is not entirely trivial, but it should be
possible for make_kbuild_makefile.pl to do so by crawling the tree. I
don't have time to implement the necessary logic at the moment,
though; please stay tuned.
