Hi Denice,
Thank you. Since these ZFS packages seem to rely strongly on a specific
version of a package found in a third-party repository that can be
updated separately from the ZFS packages, would it make sense (or be
possible) for the sl-addons repository to contain a copy of the dkms
package that is always updated in parallel with the ZFS packages?
Cheers, John
