Unfortunately, I cannot run the ZFS Regression Test Suite on cross |
| 15 |
compiled binaries. Also, ZFS' build system requires a built kernel |
| 16 |
against which it does numerous autotools checks. It is more desirable to |
| 17 |
run them against a kernel known to actually work rather than something I |
| 18 |
built without testing it. |

I am asking people to test production-quality code, so the systems |
| 25 |
should be fine. Afterward, anyone on Gentoo that wants to remove the |
| 26 |
files can run `emerge -C sys-kernel/spl sys-fs/zfs-kmod sys-fs/zfs`. |
| 27 |
People on non-gentoo systems that want to remove the files can do that |
| 28 |
manually. I will provide them with the information needed to do that |
| 29 |
should they want to do it. So far, only people using Gentoo have |
| 30 |
volunteered to test. |
