@gromit - Thank you for re-updating the PKGBUILD.

I wish I had the available bandwidth to help you co-maintain this package, but I simply do not.

You are doing a terrific job, especially given the frequent number of upstream changes - and I truly appreciate your efforts!

Cheers

Yes I already saw it and just forgot to push my changes as I tested them on my NAS before pushing :)

As you seem to comment quite frequently and also use the package, are you interested to co-maintain it?

@gromit - hope you had a fantastic vacation and thanks for upgrading the PKGBUILD!

As the ZFS Gods would have it zfs-utils got upgraded to 2.3.3-1 only one day after the current PKGBUILD was published.

For those interested in running the latest zfs-utils and zfs-linux-lts, several changes are required.

Here's the sequence that worked for me:

I'm sure gromit will update the PKGBIULD when he has the time.

Yeah sorry I just returned from vacation :)

It's only been a day since 6.12.31-1-lts was released. I'm sure gromit will update the PKGBIULD when he has the time.

However, if you cannot afford to wait, upgrading is trivial. Modify the PKGBUILD, substituting each reference to 30 with 31 and rebuild it,

Cheers

@air-g4p thank you! My concern was about losing the continuity of service of ZFS. I guess with your suggestion the risk is reduced to an unlucky power failure in the middle of the upgrade process. Mitigated with an inverter. In the end if re-compilation is often needed I found out the package zfs-dkms can be more convenient.

@jokesterfr - Did you try gromit's recommended method (below) of building zfs-linux-lts in a clean chroot, first?

In any event, this sequence works on my end:

1.  pacman -Rsc linux-lts linux-lts-headers
2.  pacman -Syu
3.  pacman -S linux-lts linux-lts-headers
4.  git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/zfs-linux-lts.git
5.  cd zfs-linux-lts
6.  time makepkg -sric

Cheers

I read the arch doc about zfs, and got the point: zfs in not upstream in linux, thus only available with strict kernel versions.

I'm strugling with a dumb upgrade issue:

$ yay -Su linux-lts
:: 3 packages to upgrade/install.
3  core/linux-lts          6.12.26-1         -> 6.12.27-1
2  core/linux-lts-headers  6.12.26-1         -> 6.12.27-1
1  aur/zfs-linux-lts       2.3.2_6.12.26.1-1 -> 2.3.2_6.12.27.1-1
...
:: installing linux-lts (6.12.27-1) breaks dependency 'linux-lts=6.12.26-1' required by zfs-linux-lts
 -> error installing repo packages

It seems like a cyclic dependency issue: the new zfs-linux-lts depends on a new specific kernel, this kernel is available but won't upgrade as this would break the current zfs-linux-lts.

Do not hesitate to RTFM me - I cannot find my way. Thank you

In case you're interested, I managed to update zfs-linux-hardened so that it has a pkgver function which automatically selects the latest kernel version if available. Since the package will just fail to build for an unsupported kernel, this seems like a moderate improvement for people who are waiting on a package update for a new minor kernel version.

You're welcome to incorporate those changes into this package, considering how this isn't automatically updated by archzfs any more, but I also understand not wanting to incorporate such a change.
