Contains ebuilds for the sys-fs/zfs and sys-fs/zfs-kmod packages.
At the time I make these ebuilds (which is, admittedly, not often), these ebuilds are typically the latest commits in the OpenZFS project that have passed all of their Continuous Integration (CI) tests.
Typically these ebuilds are made when it is required for ZFS to support a kernel version that is more recent than what the Gentoo portage tree's ZFS ebuilds support, or there is some ZFS feature required that is not present in the releases of ZFS available from the Gentoo portage repository.
Merging these ebuilds is a bit like merging sys-fs/zfs-9999 and sys-fs/zfs-kmod-9999,
except that each ebuild in this repository (ex: sys-fs/zfs-2023.01.17)
is nailed down to a certain commit on a certain date, so attempting to rebuild
the package will be a deterministic operation. (As opposed to the *-9999
ebuilds, which will merge a different version of ZFS depending on what commit
the HEAD ref is pointing to.) Also there is a bit more peace-of-mind due to
the selection of commits that pass CI.
To install:
eselect repository add cdj-zfs git https://github.com/chadjoan/cdj-zfs-portage-repo.git
eix-sync
Ebuilds may be removed from this repository once portage complains about them too much or they no longer build with modern toolchains/dependencies. (I don't like to remove ebuilds as much as the Gentoo devs do, but I also don't have the time or ability to maintain ebuilds with old EAPI versions, and even a low-dependency project like ZFS will eventually end up with broken dependencies if enough time passes.)
