Brian Behlendorf 19e9d8fd61 Remove spl-dkms conflict with spl-kmod
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.

  spl-dkms-0.6.0-rc14.fc18.noarch has installed conflicts
    spl-kmod: spl-dkms-0.6.0-rc14.fc18.noarch

The Solaris Porting Layer (SPL) is a Linux kernel module which provides many of the Solaris kernel APIs. This shim layer makes it possible to run Solaris kernel code in the Linux kernel with relatively minimal modification. This can be particularly useful when you want to track upstream Solaris development closely and dont want the overhead of maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux primitives.

To build packages for your distribution:

$ ./configure
$ make pkg

To copy the kernel code inside your kernel source tree for builtin compilation:

$ ./configure --enable-linux-builtin --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-...
$ ./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux-...

Full documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
