As long as they're relying on the -I flags provided by the build tree, that oughtn't to be a problem. If they're doing their own -I flags, they'll need to add -I include/uapi too (_after_ -I include). > Now that we're moving everything, it does make sense to do that, moving > dvb/(audio|osd|video).h to someplace else (maybe linux/dvb/av7110.h or > linux/dvb/legacy/*.h). Do you want me to do anything? I should be able to incorporate a patch prior to the disintegration of linux/dvb/ if you have one.
