@sausix - I run linux-lts
& linux-hardened
(built with arch-sign-modules
so the zfs
modules are signed) - I find that linux-lts
always builds & never needs a rebuild when gcc
changes to a new major version.
As I build my own kernels & add them to IgnorePkg
in /etc/pacman.conf
, needing to stick on a minor version of my preferred (non LTS) kernel is not an issue. This has worked well for at least 5 years. When zfs-dkms
changes, the first thing I check is the zfs
release on Github - this shows the supported kernel versions.

OpenZFS currently supports Linux kernel versions 4.18 - 6.14, as declared in the META file.
Options if your Linux kernel's version is not within that range:
1) Switch to another Linux kernel, such as
linux-lts
.2) Prevent your kernel package from upgrading to an unsupported version until OpenZFS increases the maximum supported kernel version.
3) Modify this package to support your kernel by patching it on your local machine.

If you receive this error when trying to build, it is because you have not imported the GPG keys used for verification.
You have two options:
1) Import the two keys into your keyring. ArchWiki article. You can find the key IDs in the PKGBUILD file, in the
validpgpkeys
array. (recommended)2) Alternatively, you can skip this verification by passing the
--skippgpcheck
argument tomakepkg
when building. (not recommended)
