ZFS daily/stable PPA for Ubuntu 16.04 xenial possible?

[mtippmann]

Hi, I hope this is the correct place to file this issue.

It looks like it's easy to install the current 0.7.1 release on trusty using the daily PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~zfs-native/+archive/ubuntu/daily

Is it possible to also provide packages for Ubuntu 16.04? DKMS from the official packages is broken according to the docs and kmod- packages break on every kernel security update.

0.7.1 offers some important features like zfs allow or better performance. This would provide an easy way to upgrade to the most recent version from the Ubuntu provided version.

ubuntu-zfs on the ppa you linked hasn't been updated since 2014. I think there are some additional problems. I'm looking for a daily ppa (that's actually recently updated) to try out that new big encryption feature merged in ZOL.

Haven't tried it, but this one may be what you're looking for: https://launchpad.net/~jonathonf/+archive/ubuntu/zfs

This ppa is not available anymore. Are there any alternatives?
