Hello, sorry for the late response. It's been a busy week. I have sent a message to the maintainer of the zfs-dkms package asking him to disown the package. We'll see if he responds. And you are correct, zfs-dkms-therp would be replaced by the dkms package that I will maintain. Should we ask the maintainer of zfs-dkms-therp to disown his zfs packages? It doesn't seem like anyone uses zfs-dkms-therp because it should definitely be flagged out of date; there is no way it could build with the current kernel. Also, the names for the packages I suggested earlier are incorrect, they should really be: zfs-git-dkms zfs-utils-git-dkms spl-git-dkms spl-utils-git-dkms and zfs-lts-dkms zfs-utils-lts-dkms spl-lts-dkms spl-utils-lts-dkms Since these are not currently in AUR, I will upload them myself once I get the PKGBUILDS working. Thanks, Jesus A.
