Package: zfs-linux Severity: wishlist --- Please enter the report below this line. --- Upstream has merged SPL into ZFS. I have patch-queue [1] that allows for this integration into the ZFS packaging which would completely remove the SPL packaging.
Technically, this is not terribly challenging. In fact, now that upstream properly supports Debian dkms builds [2], most of the difficulty is in simply building the dkms package with the shipped dkms.mkconf utility, rather than using our own in debian/zfs-dkms.dkms. Legally, we should ensure that combining the SPL and ZFS packages, and leaving them in contrib is no more troublesome than our current situation. I'm hoping this bug can serve as a location to centralize this discussion.
