The source build requires the users to do a 'make kernel_headers' and link them into /usr/include. Given what the kernel community has told you this might be the wrong approach.
If you provide a patch that adds a copy of the header files and updates the QUICKSTART/INSTALL document(s) I think we can carry that and update it as needed. Otherwise, you should keep a copy in your package. So, I guess I'll leave it up to you. :) Thanks, //Rob _______________________________________________ devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.open-fcoe.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
