This breaks the package on hurd and freebsd kernels. What > should we do here? I see three options:
I think it is a major waste of time thinking about BSD and Hurd. That said, I'd be willing to merge a patch that adds support for those legacy systems -- if it is minimal. Note however that it wouldn't be release critical to me, i.e. I will not care if it works or not when releasing a new version. But I geuss that doesn't matter much since it is quite a finished project and I expect very few updates in the future. So yupp, if you send me a minimal, non-intrusive patch with proper coding style that does not pollute the Linux code I'd be willing to merge it. The emphasis is on non-intrusive minimalism. > B. Ask Lennart to try to make his program portable. Nah, I will not work on this. Netlink is Linux specific -- it cannot be made on the legacy kernels, and I don't care for the legacy kernels anyway and won't spend time on them.
