[Pkg-lustre-maintainers] lustre-source, linux-headers and module-assistant

[Christopher Huhn]

Hi folks,

for our site I backported lustre 1.8.5+dfsg-2 from sid to Squeeze and 
Lenny, which was pretty straightforward.

Building the client modules for 2.6.26 with "m-a -t build lustre" was 
also straightforward while it failed for 2.6.32 on Squeeze as well as 
Lenny (with the backports 2.6.32 kernel).

Nevertheless I succeeded building the lustre-modules package with 
"make-kpkg ... configure build modules_image", so the build works as 
long as a complete kernel source tree is provided.

Building with m-a already fails in the "./configure" phase because 
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-5-amd64/include/linux/namei.h cannot be found.
And indeed the linux-headers-2.6.26-2-amd64 package contains a lot of 
links to /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.26-2-common/... while 
linux-headers-2.6.32-5-amd64 does not.

I did not find any clues on why this changed and 
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-2.6_2.6.32-35/changelog 
is unfortunately rather longish.

Is this something that can/must be fixed in the lustre-source package?

Kind regards and have a nice weekend,
     Christopher
