I just uploaded the zfs-linux package for sparc64 to "unreleased". It should be available for installation from there within the next 6-12 hours. I had to include a minor fix to make the build succeed on sparc64 [1]. Please let me know whether it works for you or whether they are any issues. The fact that it didn't even build when I tried it means that most likely no one tried zfs-linux on sparc64 before. > Again, really nice that these builds are available.

Thanks for the kind words. Happy to hear that what we are doing is useful to people. Chances are pretty good that sparc64 is going to be a release architecture in the near future, but there are still some issues that need to be ironed out. And, yes, please use popcon to let others see that Debian on SPARC is actually being used :). Cheers, Adrian > [1] https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/pull/5913 -- .''`.
