However, since usbip tools is provided as part of the Linux kernel source code, it should be supported by the package/linux-tools/ package, which already handles similar tools (perf and others). However, it is true that the linux-tools infrastructure currently only handles tools that just need to be built/installed, and not tools that use autoconf/automake. So most likely, we want to extend package/linux-tools/linux-tools.mk? Or should we, because usbip is different, have a separate package? Cc'ing Yann E. Morin, who did the work on the linux-tools package. Thanks! Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Free Electrons Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering http://free-electrons.com
