Included are header files for atomic integer operations, linked lists, hash tables, and reference counting.

The code is compatible in that it provides identical functionality in userland, but is not simply a copy of header files from the Linux kernel into a userspace package. To be clear, there is no GPL kernel code in libkcompat. For your reference, the source code for libkcompat is found at: http://git.dorsal.polymtl.ca/?p=libkcompat.git;a=summary However, the fact that it wasn't clear to you suggests that my package description needs improvement. I will make sure this happens prior to upload. Cheers -- Jon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
