Refresh the existing RPM packaging to conform to the 'Fedora Packaging Guidelines'. This includes adopting the kmods2 packaging standard which is used fod kmods distributed by rpmfusion for Fedora/RHEL. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines http://rpmfusion.org/Packaging/KernelModules/Kmods2 While the spec files have been entirely rewritten from a user perspective the only major changes are: * The Fedora packages now have a build dependency on the rpmfusion repositories. The generic kmod packages also have a new dependency on kmodtool-1.22 but it is bundled with the source rpm so no additional packages are needed. * The kernel binary module packages have been renamed from spl-modules-* to kmod-spl-* as specificed by kmods2. * The is now a common kmod-spl-devel-* package in addition to the per-kernel devel packages. The common package contains the development headers while the per-kernel package contains kernel specific build products. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes #222 |

The Solaris Porting Layer (SPL) is a Linux kernel module which provides many of the Solaris kernel APIs. This shim layer makes it possible to run Solaris kernel code in the Linux kernel with relatively minimal modification. This can be particularly useful when you want to track upstream Solaris development closely and don’t want the overhead of maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux primitives.
To build packages for your distribution:
$ ./configure
$ make pkg
To copy the kernel code inside your kernel source tree for builtin compilation:
$ ./configure --enable-linux-builtin --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-...
$ ./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux-...
Full documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
