Ummm... I didn't suggest that ZFS be shipped with or distributed with

I was talking about some kind of overlay or patch system, where I could
add zfs to my kernel use flag, and it would pull the gentoo-sources
from wherver it pulls them, and pul;l the patch from a
*separate*/*different* source/location, and then put the patch where it
needs to go to be properly compiled into the kernel.
I already posted the script I use to do exactly that.
emerge gentoo-sources
run the script
I wonder it it would be possible to have the spl and zfs-kmod ebuilds do
this with an appropriate USE flag.
Thats what I'm looking for... something that is automatic and basically
'just works'.
Manually running a script as part of each kernel update just... well,
computers do automation best.
But thanks very much for your script. I'm just not comfortable (at this
point at least) doing it that way on a production system...
