This change extends the existing in-tree test infrastructure such
that it can also be run as part of a the installed package. This
simplifies testing on multiple systems and is generally all around
useful. The scripts may still be run in-tree and will use the
in-tree build products as long as .script-config exists.
These changes bring the zfs-0.4.4 tree in to compliance with
the spl-0.4.4 packaging changes. The bottom line is 2 source
rpms and 4 binary rpms will now be generated when creating
packages there will be:
zfs-<version>.src.rpm
- Fully rebuildable source rpm for libzfs and utils.
zfs-modules-<version>.src.rpm
- Fully rebuildable source rpm for kernel modules.
zfs-<version>.<arch>.rpm
- Binary rpm for libzfs and utils. The utils in this package are
compatible with all zfs-module rpms of the same version.
zfs-devel-<version>.<arch>.rpm
- Binary rpm containing headers for building against libzfs libraries.
zfs-modules-<verion>-<kernel>.arch.rpm
- Binary rpm containing the kernel modules for a specific kernel build.
The package name contains the kernel version and you should have one
of these packages installed to match every kernel on your system.
zfs-modules-devel-<verion>-<kernel>.arch.rpm
- Binary rpm containing development header and module symbols needed
for building additional kernel modules which are dependent on the
zfs module stack.
Expect minor interations on these changes as I validate they work
properly on CHAOS, RHEL, Fedora, and SLES style distros.
An update to the build system to properly support all commonly
used Makefile targets these include:
make all # Build everything
make install # Install everything
make clean # Clean up build products
make distclean # Clean up everything
make dist # Create package tarball
make srpm # Create package source RPM
make rpm # Create package binary RPMs
make tags # Create ctags and etags for everything
Extra care was taken to ensure that the source RPMs are fully
rebuildable against Fedora/RHEL/Chaos kernels. To build binary
RPMs from the source RPM for your system simply run:
rpmbuild --rebuild zfs-x.y.z-1.src.rpm
This will produce two binary RPMs with correct 'requires'
dependencies for your kernel. One will contain all zfs modules
and support utilities, the other is a devel package for compiling
additional kernel modules which are dependant on the zfs.
zfs-x.y.z-1_<kernel version>.x86_64.rpm
zfs-devel-x.y.2-1_<kernel version>.x86_64.rpm
of the kernel specific build info in to config/kernel,
likewise and user specific build flags should go in
config/user. This seems like a reasonable way to go.
