[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] Bug#977656: zfs-dkms: Fail to build with 5.10 kernel

[Antonio Russo]

tag -1 upstream
thanks

Giving an update here, since many people may be interested in a status
report on this:

- There is *no released version* of ZoL/OpenZFS that supports 5.10.
- 5.10 appears to have been slightly more work for OpenZFS to adjust to.
- As of e1d9228b0 (on their 2.0.1-staging branch), upstream has expressed
  confidence that they have kernel compatibility. (yay!)
- Upstream will *not* be back porting their 5.10 compatibility patches
  to 0.8, but *does* welcome patches doing so.
- 2.0.0 is currently in the NEW queue, targeting experimental.  Once this
  is accepted, expect a relatively speedy delivery of 2.0.1 (or cherry 
  picked patches for 5.10 compatibility)---to experimental.
- The Debian ZoL team has not yet decided on 0.8.6 vs. 2.0.? for bullseye.
