Provide a Redhat specific spl-kmod.spec file which uses the old style
kmods (not kmods2) packaging. By using the provided kmodtool script
packages can be built which support weak modules. This allows for the
kernel to be updated without having to rebuild the SPL kernel modules.
Packages for RHEL/Centos/SL/TOSS which use this spec file can by built
as follows:
$ ./configure --with-spec=redhat
$ make rpms

Originally it was thought that custom spec files might be required
for Fedora. Happily that has turns out not to be the case. Since
this directory just contains symlinks to the generic spec files it
can be removed.

Running 'yum upgrade spl-dkms' package could appear to work properly
and still leave you with no spl modules installed. This will occur
when only the spl release, and not the version, are incremented.
This may be the case for a fast moving spl-testing repository.
During the upgrade process DKMS will realize that spl-x.y.z is already
installed and remove it. DKMS then correctly builds the new modules
for spl-x.y.z. However, as a final step when the old spl-x.y.z-r is
removed the %preun script runs and removes the newly build modules.
To handle this case the %preun script has been updated to only run
when the installed version exactly matches the full spec file version.
This change also updated ChangeLog section based on the DKMS
reference spec file.

This is a first draft of a spl-module-parameters(5) man page. I have
just extracted the parameter name and its description with modinfo,
then checked the source what type it is and its default value.
This will need more work, preferably someone that actually know these
values and what to use them for. Similar to zfsonlinux/zfs#1856, but
for the spl.

Make spl depend on the same version of spl-kmod, rather than on same or
better. When yum repository contains a number of versions the dependency
resolution breaks on trying to install non-latest version.

When the kmod packaging infrastructure was originally added the
dependency on the rpmfusion yum repositories was disabled. This
was done at the time in favour of getting local builds working.
Now the time has come to conditionally re-enable that functionality
so we can properly provide binary kmod packages.
./configure --with-config=srpm
make SRPM_DEFINE_KMOD='--define="repo rpmfusion"' srpm-kmod
mock rebuild spl-kmod-x.y.z-r.el6.src.rpm
One nice benefit of finishing this work is that the generic and
fedora spl-kmod spec files can be merged again.

There are a number of issues with the generic kmod RPM spec in its
current state:
- The "%{__id_u}" macro seems to not be available on some systems (e.g.
Debian squeeze). It appears it has been deprecated. Use "${__id} -u"
instead.
- The way the "--with-linux=" configure option is generated in the
non-RHEL/Fedora case is completely wrong with various newline and
escaping issues (also, $kernel_version is not available in the
generator context).
The second issue made the generator shell snippet (almost) silently
fail, which under specific circumstances can result in broken builds
against the wrong kernel sources.

For the DKMS package to successfully build the kernel-devel
headers must be included along gcc, make, and perl. The SPL
code never directly invokes perl but the kernel build system
depends on it.

Because the spl-dkms package also provides spl-kmod for the
spl user package yum flags this as a conflict. To avoid the
problem remove the Conflicts tag from spl-dkms and just rely
on the one in spl-kmod.

Refresh the existing RPM packaging to conform to the 'Fedora
Packaging Guidelines'. This includes adopting the kmods2
packaging standard which is used fod kmods distributed by
rpmfusion for Fedora/RHEL.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelineshttp://rpmfusion.org/Packaging/KernelModules/Kmods2
While the spec files have been entirely rewritten from a
user perspective the only major changes are:
* The Fedora packages now have a build dependency on the
rpmfusion repositories. The generic kmod packages also
have a new dependency on kmodtool-1.22 but it is bundled
with the source rpm so no additional packages are needed.
* The kernel binary module packages have been renamed from
spl-modules-* to kmod-spl-* as specificed by kmods2.
* The is now a common kmod-spl-devel-* package in addition
to the per-kernel devel packages. The common package
contains the development headers while the per-kernel
package contains kernel specific build products.
