Hello Colin, or anyone else affected,

Accepted dkms into wily-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dkms/2.2.0.3-2ubuntu6.1 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Title:
  dkms: add module build ordering for ZFS on Linux

Status in dkms package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in dkms source package in Wily:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  (updated now from a FFe to a SRU for Wily)
  SRU request, Wily.

  [IMPACT]
  Without this, we can have incorrect ordering which causes DKMS build failures for multiple kernel module projects, such as ZFS (where ZFS requires the ZFS support module spl to be built first).

  [TEST CASE]
  Install Wily zfs, occasionally the build ordering will be zfs and the spl, and the zfs DKMS build will fail because spl is not yet built. With the fix, build ordering for zfs will always occur in spl, then zfs order because it uses the new BUILD_DEPENDS directive.
  Note: The upload will trigger the testing of all DKMS modules, so it'll get an adequate beating by britney (according to Martin Pitt).

  [REGRESSION POTENTIAL]
  DKMS package builds will fail.  

  -------------------
  Feature Freeze Exception Request:

  build ordering to build ZFS on Linux (ZoL) is required, the motivating
  case is for ordering such as modules such as zfs -> spl

  Without this, we can have incorrect ordering which causes DKMS build
  failures for multiple kernel module projects, such as ZFS (where ZFS
  requires the ZFS support module spl to be built first).

  Pull in fixes from the ZFS on Linux project that enable this ordering
  to DKMS.
