Added the necessary build infrastructure for building packages compatible with the Arch Linux distribution. As such, one can now run: $ ./configure $ make pkg # Alternatively, one can run 'make arch' as well on an Arch Linux machine to create two binary packages compatible with the pacman package manager, one for the spl userland utilties and another for the spl kernel modules. The new packages can then be installed by running: # pacman -U $package.pkg.tar.xz In addition, source-only packages suitable for an Arch Linux chroot environment or remote builder can also be built using the 'sarch' make rule. NOTE: Since the source dist tarball is created on the fly from the head of the build tree, it's MD5 hash signature will be continually influx. As a result, the md5sum variable was intentionally omitted from the PKGBUILD files, and the '--skipinteg' makepkg option is used. This may or may not have any serious security implications, as the source tarball is not being downloaded from an outside source.

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
Full documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
