[OpenAFS-devel] compiling on debian linux?

[Tim Showalter]

Hi.  I'm wondering if anyone knows what changes Linux vendors have taken
to making to their kernel source.  My Debian install calls its kernel
source "kernel-source-2.2.17.tar.gz", which untars into
kernel-source-2.2.17.  OpenAFS seems to expect compiling it into
linux-2.2.14 (or a variant on that version number), and then really
wants a file called "linux/version.h" somewhere in there.  That file
doesn't seem to exist under Debian, and so I'm assuming it was added by
RedHat.  Working around the directory name is easy.

I have three related questions:

(a) does any debian user have a patch;
(b) how much am I allowed to mutilate this in the name of fixing it;
(c) who is smoking what, and how much?

Thanks.

Tim
