Description: This samba header moved from include/linux/ to drivers/staging/smbfs, as result of which is seems to no longer packaged in kernel26-headers. This is breaking compilation for packages dependent on it, as it is no longer available in /usr/include/linux


Additional info:
* package version kernel26-headers 2.6.37-5
This task depends upon

I don't think we package headers to /usr/include/linux in kernel, this is linux-headers instead.

According to pkgfile, smbno.h is currently available in kernel26-lts-headers. So I assume it should be in kernel26-headers. I don't have a 2.6.36 arch system around, so can't double check.

I did have a 2.6.34 chroot jail around,
[root@cellardoor linux]# pacman -Qo smbno.h
smbno.h is owned by linux-api-headers 2.6.34-1

Missing from linux-api-headers 2.6.37-1

This header is apparently not intended to be used externally, otherwise it would be inside an include/ folder.

The thing is, smbfs is deprecated and will be removed, so whatever package you want to compile for it will not work anyway. Which packages btw?

Boxee. The're notoriously slow at updating. Will this be included in linux-api-headers while it's still in kernel ? Otherwise, I'll just add it to the sources.

Will this be added to linux-api-headers or should I start including it in the sources for my package ?

This header is deprecated and will be completely removed from the sources in 2.6.39. This will disappear permanently.
