When building from an arbitrary commit in the git tree it's useful for the resulting packages to be uniquely identifiable. Therefore, the build system has been updated to detect if your compiling in git tree. If you are building in a git tree, and there are commits after the last annotated tag. Then the <id>-<hash> component of 'git describe' will be used to overwrite the 'Release:' field in the META file. The only tricky part is that to ensure the 'make dist' tarball is built using the correct release. A dist-hook was added to the top level make file to rewrite the META file using the correct release.

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
