Fedora20: release SPL/ZFS 0.6.3 so it compiles there

[TvdW]

SPL 0.6.2 (and possibly ZFS) has no support for kernel 3.12 or 3.13. Fedora 20 uses 3.12, so SPL and ZFS aren't going to work on this OS version.

Relevant pull requests that patched support in the product :
#307
#312

Please release 0.6.3 that contains these patches.

Support for Fedora 20 is already in git - I was able to successfully create a zpool on my Fedora 20 installation after compiling new RPMs for SPL and ZFS from git. I've written some instructions on doing so here: http://www.firewing1.com/node/633

As mentioned by @firewing1 support for Fedora 20 is already in git. If you must use Fedora 20 either use the version from git or back rev your kernel. We'll release 0.6.3 when it's ready.

I'm not a developer but know enough to be dangerous. I'm trying to build ZOL on F20. Following your instructions but getting stuck:

# git clone https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs.git
(downloads)

# git clone https://github.com/zfsonlinux/spl.git
(downloads)

# pushd spl
~/spl ~
# make rpm-utils rpm-dkms
make: *** No rule to make target `rpm-utils'.  Stop.
# pwd
/root/spl
#

Thank you.

Sorry, I forgot a command in there - need to run ./autogen.sh before make. Also, please don't run this as root! You can build RPMs as your regular user provided you have the rpmdevtools package installed.

This is what worked for me:

# yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
# yum install kernel-devel zlib-devel libuuid-devel libblkid-devel libselinux-devel parted lsscsi wget yash rpmdevtools autoreconf automake libtool
# git clone https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs.git
# git clone https://github.com/zfsonlinux/spl.git
# pushd spl
# ./autogen.sh 
# ./configure
# make rpm-utils rpm-dkms kmod-rpm
# popd
# pushd zfs
# ./autogen.sh
# ./configure
# make rpm-utils rpm-dkms kmod-rpm
# popd

# systemctl enable zfs
# systemctl start ifs

(reboot just in case :) ) 

Thanks for your help.

I got
make: *** No rule to make target 'kmod.rpm'. Stop.

when trying what @deeepdish wrote.

[dadinn]

Because the make target is called rpm-kmod instead of kmod-rpm. Even better, instead of make rpm-utils rpm-dkms rpm-kmod, simply use make rpms.
