When running 'make install' without DESTDIR set the module install rules would mistakenly destroy the 'modules.*' files for ALL of your installed kernels. This could lead to a non-functional system for the alternate kernels because 'depmod -a' will only be run for the kernel which was compiled against. This issue would not impact anyone using the 'make <deb|rpm|pkg>' build targets to build and install packages. The fix for this issue is to only remove extraneous build products when DESTDIR is set. This almost exclusively indicates we are building packages and installed the build products in to a temporary staging location. Additionally, limit the removal the unneeded build products to the target kernel version. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes #328
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 don’t want the overhead of maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux primitives.
To build packages for your distribution:
$ ./configure
$ make pkg
Full documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
