After having dealt for the n-th time with libvirt dependencies messing
up [1] with zfs packages installed from ZFS On Linux repository, I
wondered if we could just include them in Fedora repository.
They are not in the Fedora Forbidden Items [2] list.
Fedora Wiki ZFS page [3] says:
"Fedora releases don't ship proper ZFS support included to kernel
because its license CDDL (Common Development and Distribution License)[...]"
but since ZFS On Linux provide zfs-dkms package, I think this should
avoid any possible legal trouble between Linux kernel licence and ZFS
licence.
What do you think about?
[1]: libvirt-daemon-driver-storage installs
libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-zfs which requires zfs-fuse (from Fedora
repo. A package no longer upgraded by upstream dev). The latter has
Provides:/sbin/zfs, /sbin/mount.zfs that IMHO is the cause of the
conflict with the ZFS packages from ZFS On Linux. The only way to solve
the problem is to use "dnf swap zfs-fuse zfs"
