missing kernel headers

[efa]

SRU justification:

Impact: Intrepid and Jaunty header packages are missing some headers required by external module source to compile.

Fix: Modify the build system to include those headers-

Testcase: verify headers included in the packages.

---

on kernel packaged with Ubuntu 8.10, are missing some header files present in kernel.org vanilla and Debian version.
These headers are needed to compile various kernel media modules.
The file are at least:
/usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/demux.h
/usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/dmxdev.h
/usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/dvbdev.h
/usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/dvb_demux.h
/usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/dvb_frontend.h
/usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/dvb_net.h
/usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/dvb_ringbuffer.h
/usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/drivers/media/dvb/frontends/lgdt330x.h
/usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/drivers/media/video/msp3400-driver.h
this is so for:
2.6.27.7
2.6.27.9
2.6.27.11

Those files was present on kernel header package with Ubuntu 8.04

I have just noticed that more header files are missing than those outlined originally. It seems all headers falling under /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/drivers/media/dvb/ are missing (except now those in dvb-core & frontend since Jaunty Fix Release above).

This is the case for both Intrepid & Jaunty (except for those now present due to Jaunty fix release above). The list I have of missing headers is as follows:
b2c2, bt8xx, dm1105, dvb-usb, pluto2, siano, ttpci, ttusb-budget, ttusb-dec.
Note: For Intrepid there is no dm1105 as I think it didn't make it into kernel 2.6.27.

the same apply to 2.6.27-14-generic
The same work around (copy from vanilla) work for my drivers

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Accepted linux into intrepid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Steve Beattie (sbeattie)]

I can confirm that linux-headers package in intrepid-proposed (2.6.27-14.34, currently superceded by the security update 2.6.27-14.35), contains the additional missing headers listed above (dvb-core and frontend) as well as a bunch of additional headers in drivers/video/media. Marking as verification-done, though I also can confirm Alvin and efa's report that additional headers are missing under drivers/media/dvb (which was not an introduced regression by this fix).

[efa (efa)]

In the meantime I updated Ubuntu to 9.04 kernel 2.6.28-13-generic
All 9 header files are present on standard kernel headers here.
Compilation of linuxtv.org mercurial repositories work as expected without file copy.
thanks
