- dardeaup 10mo agoAgreed. I'd say it goes much deeper than that in the case of FreeBSD though. It's just an ideological thing that can't be changed.
- sbseitz 10mo agoComes in binary form from Debian and Ubuntu. I can add it to any other distribution via DKMS. Same core ZFS code as BSD uses.
- matthewmc3 10mo agoHonest question - if it comes in binary form, how can you know it's the same core ZFS code BSD uses?
- E39M5S62 10mo agoSame as anything else installed as a binary package - you trust the people packaging/providing the binary. If you don't, build it yourself. The source is publicly available.
- pabs3 10mo agoOr you build it yourself and verify you got the same checksum. https://reproducible-builds.org/ https://reproducible-builds.org/
- pabs3 10mo agoDebian only distributes it in DKMS form, not binary form.
