The reason is that our 'gnome' package depends on 'gnome-boxes', which depends on 'libvirt', which now depends on 'zfs', and our 'zfs' package includes the following argument: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ;; The ZFS kernel module should not be downloaded since the license ;; terms don't allow for distributing it, only building it locally. #:substitutable? #f --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Am I mistaken? Are there opinions about whether this is desirable? Before the commit above, the only package that depended on 'zfs' was 'zfs-auto-snapshot', so presumably the only people who had to compile ZFS were people who explicitly wanted ZFS. Regards, Mark
