Arch Linux User Repository

Could the aarch64 architecture be added to the PKGBUILD? The ZFS on Linux projects states that the arch is supported (https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/wiki/FAQ) and I've been using a modified PKGBUILD compiled on aarch64 successfully for some time as well.

At least until the packages are updated here do the following:

The 7.6 version of spl and zfs fixes the issue. when installing spl-dkms or zfs-dkms edit the PKGBUILD.

in both zfs-dkms and spl-dkms, Change the variable pkgver=0.7.5 to pkgver=0.7.6

continue building.. it should install properly.

Gulp, I just got the following upgrading today:

(excuse my French :-)

needs spl-0.7.6 for 4.15 patches

Simply replacing "0.7.3" with "0.7.4" in the PKGBUILD seems to work for me. (When used with zfs-dkms, I did the same there and uninstalled both packages prior to reinstalling the newer versions.)

broken with linux 4.14

upstream issue: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/spl/issues/656, https://github.com/zfsonlinux/spl/pull/659

Hello! We just added support to the archzfs project and repository for these PKGBUILDS. Could we discuss adding the archzfs maintainers on as co-maintainers to this AUR package? See https://github.com/archzfs/archzfs/issues/157

The AUR package should be updated for 0.6.5.10 but in the meantime I have been able to successfully build and install spl-dkms & zfs-dkms 0.6.5.10 for linux 4.11.6. You need downgrade gcc to version <= 6.3.1 first. Download the snapshot for spl-dkms & zfs-dkms and edit the pkgver from 0.6.5.9 to 0.6.5.10 in the PKGBUILD files for each.

Please upgrade https://github.com/zfsonlinux/spl/releases/tag/spl-0.6.5.10

This fails for me when building with 4.11.2-1-ARCH (x86_64)

For the package "spl-dkms", please add

conflicts=('spl-linux') (It does, in fact)
and
provices=("spl-linux=${pkgver}") (it does, in fact, and is needed by other packages depending on spl-linux).


For the package "spl-utils", please add
