@izmntuk: I should have probably explained it a bit more. Without hooks support, when you upgrade the kernel, you'll have to run dkms {uninstall,build,install} manually, which isn't really much more convenient than rebuilding the packages anyway. There is no (easy) way to make this automatic, unless the install scripts in the kernel package do it, which I don't believe is going to happen (and it wouldn't be right, in any case). With support for hooks in the package manager, on the other hand, as is the case with Debian's Apt for example, the packages that employ dkms-based modules may install hooks that'll handle the rebuilding and reinstallation process for the modules automagically, each time the kernel package is upgraded. I hope someone will correct me here if I'm missing some important point.

@izmntuk: The problem with dkms is that pacman currently doesn't support hooks (see: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User:Allan/Pacman_Hooks). So, right now there isn't much sense in using dkms: it actually makes the things more complex, yet without any real benefit to compensate. Of course, that'll change once pacman does begin to support hooks.

Hello, how about add a dkms version of the package(like 'zfs-dkms-git', 'spl-dkms-git' )? I think it'll be very useful for who often switch between different variants of stock kernel.

The old zfs packages have been merged into the zfs-git packages.

@demizer, actually, thank you! Your information on the nature of yesterday's problem saved me (and likely others, too) much precious time.

Thanks kerberizer for the heads up!

The wait wasn't long, indeed. GCC 4.9 has landed in [core] this morning.

@demizer: How about building with gcc & libtool from the testing repo? I did that for my own build and it worked fine. OTOH, of course, if it's a matter of just a few hours or even a day or two of waiting, the risk -- even the lowest one -- might not be worth taking. If anyone's interested, these packages may be downloaded from here http://kerberia.net/archlinux/repo/archzfs-git/x86_64/, though it's much better of course to build them on one's own. (And it shouldn't be really necessary to say this, but such packages must never be tested directly on production systems!)

Sounds like a pretty big mistake from arch kernel maintainers, maybe they will just release 3.14.2-2 to fix it

Here is the problem described clearly: https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2014-May/036065.html from https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=180924 Looks like we'll have to wait.
