For userspace code, I really like to have 'linux' in the include file name, so that it's clear that some linux-specific header is being used. > /usr/include/abi -> linux/include/abi > /usr/include/linux -> abi (obsolete, to be removed with 2.8) > Appropriate $ARCH + generic dirs (names?). what about keeping /usr/include/linux for the userspace visible part of the linux headers and using a new name for the internal headers. That way we don't have to change userspace applications and can do all modifications in the kernel tree at the time we want. For example: * mkdir include/kernel (plus arch-specific versions) * add placeholer files that simply #include the old include/linux file * start replacing in-kernel #includes with the include/kernel version. * move the #ifdef __KERNEL__ parts from include/linux to include/kernel This can be done incrementally, too. --=20 Martin Waitz --gTtJ75FAzB1T2CN6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA2++kj/Eaxd/oD7IRAh0sAJoDj4ubGaN1sl++jYUBUKK9Z0VLGwCghCEc HpH42yD8YWLgzQoL2EZSnDM= =q5v5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --gTtJ75FAzB1T2CN6-- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
