Wrong Linux-Maximum in META file in the 2.4.2 release tarball #18526

Closed

Description

@satmandu

The release tarball has this in the META file:

Linux-Maximum: 99.99

In the file tagged as 2.4.2 in git though, this is correctly set to 7.0:

zfs/META

Line 9 in 6330a45

Linux-Maximum: 7.0

    That's annoying. The CI packaging scripts will set 99.99 in META when we're testing a new kernel version. Maybe the kernel version field text box was set with a stray character or something when I was building the packages? I'll regenerate the RPMs and tarballs and push them out.

    @satmandu looks like we'll need #18531 backported to the 2.3.x and 2.4.x branches to fix it. There's some other build fixes we may want to pull in as well (like #18532, and possibly #18527 if a fix appears). So the plan is to put together some small zfs-2.4.3 and zfs-2.3.8 follow-up releases. Depending when when the 7.1 kernel releases, we might be able to support that too.
