Can you\nfile specific bugs if you're having problems?\n\nIn the long run, the answer is to convince Linus that we _really_ need\nthe kernel to have a set of header files defining the ABI which are fit\nfor public consumption, rather than having a horrid mix of private and\nexportable bits throughout the contents of the include/ directory. \n\nIn the meantime, some poor mug has to clean the crap up and try to make\nsomething suitable to live in /usr/include/linux -- and unfortunately at\nthe moment for Fedora that someone is me :)\n\nUnless git is doing something with kernel-private headers that it\nshouldn't, this probably wants to be discussed elsewhere -- most likely\nin Bugzilla.\n\n-- \ndwmw2\n\n"}]}
