I was wondering if the following headers could be included in future kernel-devel packages: - media/video/bttv.h, needed by LIRC's gpio dependent drivers - usb/serial/usb-serial.h, needed by Gnokii's Nokia DKU-2 USB cable driver Untested (because a FC devel CVS checkout doesn't seem to result in a buildable setup) patch attached.
Created attachment 122674 [details] Ship bttv.h and usb-serial.h
These out-of-tree modules really should be campaigning for upstream to move these to include/. The dvb stuff that was in the spec should also be doing the same (fwiw, that's now been removed too). We have to take this stand otherwise over time we'll accumulate more and more of these special cases, and things become a real mess. If a subsystem has an api it wants out-of-tree modules to build against, it needs to make it visible.
Fair enough, thanks for the info. Removing the dvb stuff clarifies things too.
