Please expedite release of 2.1.10

[stratosgear]

I believe a lot of people (not only me) are waiting for an official release of this package, instead of manually patching fixes.

I believe the latest incompatibility with kernel 6.2.8 has been fixed with ae0b1f6.

Issue #14658, that originally reported this issue has been closed, but the problem still persists, with no way to cleanly apply the fixes ("cleanly": autoinstall through a system update).

Apologies if I have missed any upcoming list of releases somewhere... :(

Thanks.

I walked in this trap also again. There was no indication when upgrading Fedoras kernel that the ZFS package wouldn't be compatible anymore. Some time ago I could see something is wrong because Fedora listed the ZFS package under the packages to be removed section. No idea why this is not the case anymore.

And by the way. I still have to remove/reinstall ZFS with every kernel update. Otherwise the ZFS module is broken due to wrong paths. That is so annoying.

I have a PR open for a 2.1.10 release that includes a kernel fix that should allow us to build against Fedora 37 with their updated kernel. I was hoping to release it last week, but we've been hitting test failures with the removal tests due to txg_sync hangs:

Once we can get that sorted out, then we will release 2.1.10.
