Hi,

Debian's lintian(1), the package checker, tells me:

=========================================================================
W: libxenomai-dev: symlink-is-self-recursive
usr/include/xenomai/asm-generic/xenomai .
N:
N:   The symbolic link is recursive to a higher directory of the symlink
N:   itself. This means, that you can infinitely chdir with this symlink.
N:   This is usually not okay, but sometimes wanted behaviour.
N:
W: libxenomai-dev: symlink-is-self-recursive
usr/include/xenomai/asm-sim/asm .
W: libxenomai-dev: symlink-is-self-recursive
usr/include/xenomai/asm-sim/xenomai .
W: libxenomai-dev: symlink-is-self-recursive
usr/include/xenomai/asm-x86/xenomai .
W: libxenomai-dev: symlink-is-self-recursive usr/include/xenomai/xenomai .
=========================================================================

I.e. installing Xenomai created those recursive links which might be
there for source compatibility reasons. Can they be removed at some
point or should I accept the above issue as intended for the future?

Thanks,

Roland
