Subject: Architecture-specific include files
Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2001 21:01:18 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010422210118.Z18464@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> (raw)
Something which came up in one of the hallway discussions at the
kernelsummit was that a lot of the architecture maintainers would find
it more convenient if the arch-specific header files were moved from
include/asm-$ARCH to arch/$ARCH/include. Since we use a symlink _anyway_,
no global changes to include statements are necessary, we'd merely need
to change Makefile from
symlinks:
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-$(ARCH) asm)
to
symlinks:
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf ../arch/$(ARCH)/include asm)
Would anyone have a problem with this change? It'll make for a hell
of a big patch from Linus, but it really will simplify the lives of the
architecture maintainers.
