[Soc-coordination] Status Report of ZFS on Linux Integration, Week 12

[Aron Xu]

Hi everyone,

This is the thirteenth report of ZFS on Linux Integration GSoC project.

In this week I've set up a local Debian repository to include my
changed grub2 package, so that I'm able to try to continue the
installation of my d-i image. The attempt returns a very positive
result - grub2 installs on the target system and the installation
process finished cleanly. So everything needed to install Debian on a
disk is present, and thanks to all people who have directly or
indirectly helped on making this possible.

Next step is to make remaining changes integrated into the Debian
archive: get zfs-linux accepted from NEW, get grub2 package updated
with related changes. Works still need to be done is to evaluate with
FTP team about whether binary modules is legal to ship in Debian
archive, and implement changes to make this directly available and/or
easily producible for ordinary users.

In the last days of this week, I have received quite a list of patches
on our mailing list and I'm still dealing with them. Most of the
changes are good while some of them may need discussion or
improvements.


Thank you very much,
Aron Xu
