Description Leon Woestenberg 2015-06-09 12:50:02 UTC 
Do we have infrastructure to generate kernel -dev packages that includes the UAPI headers?

Goal: Have per-module -dev packages for:

1) deployment in sysroot for building against kernel headers
2) deployment in SDKs
3) deployment on target for native compiles.

Possibly duplicate of #5305

The linux-libc-headers package is completely created via the uapi headers.

If you are looking to have a more dynamic version of the headers available,
then yes, this is a duplicate of 5305.

Moved to NEEDINFO due to Bruce's question.
Comment 3 Leon Woestenberg 2015-06-23 12:20:35 UTC 
The use case was a developer asking on #yocto how to extend a kernel with a custom driver and export it's UAPI.

I could not tell from the current situation or documentation how to perform this cleanly.

Consider this a duplicate of 5305.
