How does this sound?

Policy-driven snapshot management (sanoid), dataset sending/receiving (syncoid) and snapshot searching (findoid) tools for ZFS.

I've got a suggestion for improvement; consider adding the term 'syncoid' and 'replication' somewhere in the description. It appears that syncoid is bundled with your sanoid package. Would make it a little easier to find when looking for the syncoid replication tool (as I was until moments ago). Thanks!

Thanks, done. It'll go out w/ the next update. :)

@fryfrog: note that you can use the same cd "${pkgname}-${pkgver}" in prepare() and remove ALL ${srcdir}/sanoid-${pkgver} elsewere.

Done, thanks for the review and suggestions!

@fryfrog:

Remove 'lzop: compression' or list all 6 of them (and then always keep that list up-to-date)?

README.md is renamed to LICENSE when installed.

You could get rid of all the ${srcdir}/sanoid-${pkgver} and add a cd in prepare().

Pushed, give it a look and see what you think.

^ It seems to run even w/o being enabled, so that is nice I guess. And since /usr/sbin is a symlink to /usr/bin, I think we could get away w/o doing anything? Probably nicer to just fix it though. I agree on the TZ, may as well leave it in.

@fryfrog: TZ=UTC is recommended and they are the official upstream .service and .timer files. I think it is better to install those files.

sanoid-prune.service will run after sanoid.service: https://github.com/jimsalterjrs/sanoid/blob/master/INSTALL.md

# Enable sanoid-prune.service to allow it to be triggered by sanoid.service

Not sure right now whether TZ=UTC will cause any serious problems with sanoid or with syncoid. It might be that some extra snapshots will be created, which hopefully will be pruned away.

Maybe you need to patch the service files in prepare(): /usr/sbin/ -> /usr/bin/.

Thanks for the suggestions, I've fixed the license, removed provides and conflicts and perl.

For the services, do you think the Environment=TZ=UTC will cause any problems? Also, the sanoid-prune.service gets run because of the Wants=sanoid-prune.service in sanoid.service right?

Edit: The TZ=UTC does indeed cause the snapshot times to be UTC, which... I don't love, but I also don't hate.
