zfs-2.2.5 is looking for kernel-devel when Asahi Linux 40 (Server Edition) uses kernel-16k-devel leading to failed installation

Describe the problem you're observing
I cannot install ZFS 2.2.5 in Asahi Linux 40 (Server Edition) due to a conflict regarding kernel-devel. I installed Asahi Linux 40 bare metal on an Apple M1 Mac mini. Asahi Linux on Mac uses kernel-16k-devel instead of kernel-devel. There is a whole discussion about Apple silicon Macs using 16k pages HERE.
I spoke with the Asahi Devs (Hector Martin and Neal Gompa) and they gave me a solution HERE.
This is a problem with the dependencies of the dkms package. It is asking explicitly for the kernel-devel package, but for Asahi we use kernel-16k-devel.
I’m not sure how you built that rpm, but you should be able to find a spec file if you built it from source. Look inside, find any references to kernel-devel, and replace them with kernel-16k-devel.
That solution worked. I went into the directories /zfs-2.2.5/rpm/generic and /zfs-2.2.5/rpm/redhat and opened every file with "spec" in the name and indiscriminately changed kernel-devel to kernel-16k-devel wherever I found it. After that ZFS installed.
The Asahi Devs I spoke to didn't seem to think they could come up with a more elegant solution on their end. They thought a more reasonable fix would have to come from the zfs community. I'm surprised this issue hasn't come up before. Surely, I can't be the only person contemplating hooking up a USB JBOD solution to an Apple silicon Mac and then running bare metal Linux on it and using ZFS for software RAID.
Is there any way to make this so the compile and install "just works"? I'm sure this has already tripped up other people and the current solution is clumsy and opaque to the uninitiated.
Describe how to reproduce the problem
I downloaded the source code from https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/releases/download/zfs-2.2.5/zfs-2.2.5.tar.gz
I then compiled it on an M1 Mac mini running Asahi Linux bare metal without altering anything...
$ ./configure
$ make -j1 rpm-utils rpm-dkms
And then tried to install zfs-dkms-2.2.5-1.fc40.noarch.rpm
The output below shows things did not go well.
Include any warning/errors/backtraces from the system logs

Thanks!
I am a total noob and definitely not a programmer. I have no idea how to use github, and I created this account a couple of days ago just to ask about this issue.
I didn't quite understand what you wanted me to do. This is what I did. I copied this...
%if 0%{?asahi}
Requires: kernel-16k-devel >= @ZFS_META_KVER_MIN@, kernel-16k-devel <= @[email protected]
Requires(post): kernel-16k-devel >= @ZFS_META_KVER_MIN@, kernel-16k-devel <= @[email protected]
Obsoletes: spl-dkms <= %{version}
%endif
Then I opened /rpm/generic/zfs-dkms.spec.in
And pasted it just after this section...
%if 0%{?rhel}%{?fedora}%{?mageia}%{?suse_version}%{?openEuler}
Requires: kernel-devel >= @ZFS_META_KVER_MIN@, kernel-devel <= @[email protected]
Requires(post): kernel-devel >= @ZFS_META_KVER_MIN@, kernel-devel <= @[email protected]
Obsoletes: spl-dkms <= %{version}
%endif
That didn't work. I thought with both if statements in there the system would pick the most appropriate one and ignore the other. It didn't. The "kernel-devel" vs "kernel-16k-devel" issue persisted.
So I just deleted the original if statement and left your new "asahi" specific one in its place, and everything compiled and installed fine as far as my novice eyes can tell. sudo modprobe zfs worked. zpool list worked returning "no pools available" which is true. The Cockpit ZFS Manager from 45Drives seems to be working... Although I haven't created a pool with it yet.

Something else. There are a couple of other if statements in /rpm/generic/zfs-dkms.spec.in that reference various flavors of rhel (ie rhel, fedora, suse, etc) but don't mention "asahi." Is this a potential problem?
I hope I did what you wanted me to do.

I compressed the whole "platform" directory and attached it with the file name "rpmplatform."
There is an aarch64-linux and a noarch-linux directory that both contain a "macros" file. I'm not sure if either of those contain what you seek... or if it is in any of those other subdirectories.
I also explored the /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/ directory...

I compressed and attached it as well with the file name "rpmmacros."
I forget what conditionals you get in rpmspec, but something like (kernel && kernel-devel) || (kernel-16k && kernel-16k-devel) seems reasonable here, without requiring a platform-specific macro check...
I'll probably also play with this on my Asahi machine when I get back from vacation in a week and get something working if nobody else beats me to it.
I am running asahi and had some similar troubles with missing headers during the build. This fixed it for me
dnf install kernel-16k-devel
I am running asahi and had some similar troubles with missing headers during the build. This fixed it for me
dnf install kernel-16k-devel
Unfortunately kernel headers were already installed for me. I actually tried installing them just in case...
sudo dnf install “kernel-devel-uname-r == $(uname -r)”
Package kernel-16k-devel-6.9.12-401.asahi.fc40.aarch64 is already installed.
The issue persists in zfs-2.2.7.
I once again went in and edited every spec file and added "{?asahi}" everywhere I found "{?fedora}." Then I replaced "kernel-devel" with "kernel-16k-devel" in every spec file.
Everything seems to work as expected...
$ modinfo zfs | grep version
version: 2.2.7-1
srcversion: E21EBDAA367BFF5E64F690A
$ hostnamectl
Operating System: Fedora Linux Asahi Remix 40 (Server Edition)
Kernel: Linux 6.12.1-404.asahi.fc40.aarch64+16k
Architecture: arm64

Looking at the rpm macros, it seems to me there is no %asahi macro. grep '%asahi' * returns nothing.
The file macros.dist though defines a %fedora macro (guess that's why it fails with both if statements):
# dist macros.
%__bootstrap ~bootstrap
%fedora 40
%fc40 1
%distcore .fc%{fedora}
%dist %{!?distprefix0:%{?distprefix}}%{expand:%{lua:for i=0,9999 do print("%{?distprefix" .. i .."}") end}}%{distcore}%{?with_bootstrap:%{__bootstrap}}
%dist_vendor Fedora Asahi
%dist_name Fedora Linux Asahi Remix
%dist_home_url https://fedora-asahi-remix.org/
%dist_bug_report_url https://bugzilla.redhat.com/
%dist_debuginfod_url https://debuginfod.fedoraproject.org/
So some more conditional magic, maybe looking for %dist_vendor, would be required.

kernel-devel vs kernel-16k-devel seems to be the only issue. I experimented and only changed that and it worked.
To post in the correct issue:
I don't know. There seems like there is something there with the boolean operation. I just need to figure out the right syntax.
I slightly misread https://rpm-software-management.github.io/rpm/manual/boolean_dependencies.html.
Examples:
Requires: (pkgA or pkgB or pkgC)
So only one pair of parenthesis should be needed.
Could you try?

This worked for me...
%if 0%{?rhel}%{?fedora}%{?mageia}%{?suse_version}%{?openEuler}
Requires: (kernel-devel >= 4.18 or kernel-longterm-devel >= 4.18 or kernel-16k-devel >= 4.18) (kernel-devel <= 6.12.999 or kernel-longterm-devel <= 6.12.999 or kernel-16k-devel <= 6.12.999)
Requires(post): (kernel-devel >= 4.18 or kernel-longterm-devel >= 4.18 or kernel-16k-devel >= 4.18) (kernel-devel <= 6.12.999 or kernel-longterm-devel <= 6.12.999 or kernel-16k-devel <= 6.12.999)
Obsoletes: spl-dkms <= %{version}
%endif
No "and" or "," needed between the (or booleans).
Those two "requires" lines in zfs-dkms.spec.in in the redhat and generic folders under the rpm directory is all it took. Four lines total, should end our pain.
I did not use the "Conflict:" line. I'll try it some other time. It is nice weather here, and I don't want to compile anymore today.
