Tony Hutter 73d08ace52 Exclude python scripts from RPM shebang check
The newest Fedora packaging rules print warnings for scripts using the
/usr/bin/python shebang:

  *** WARNING: mangling shebang in /usr/src/spl-0.7.0/cmd/splslab/splslab.py
  from #!/usr/bin/python to #!/usr/bin/python2. This will become an ERROR,
  fix it manually!

Fedora wants all cross compatible scripts to pick python3.  Since we
don't want our users to have to pick a specific version of python, we
exclude our scripts from the RPM build check.

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 do not want the overhead of maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux primitives.

To build packages for your distribution:

$ ./configure
$ make pkg

If you are building directly from the git tree and not an officially released tarball you will need to generate the configure script. This can be done by executing the autogen.sh script after installing the GNU autotools for your distribution.

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-...

The SPL comes with an automated test suite called SPLAT. The test suite is implemented in two parts. There is a kernel module which contains the tests and a user space utility which controls which tests are run. To run the full test suite:

$ sudo insmod ./module/splat/splat.ko
$ sudo ./cmd/splat --all

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