So I had a look at the packages and here is what I found: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-zfs/ is very out-of-date and not maintained, therefore it should be deleted. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-zfs/ is replaced by zfs-git and should be deleted. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zfs-behlendorf-git/ is replaced by zfs-git and should be deleted. The dkms packages are definitely not maintained, but useful none the less as eventually someone would probably like to build ZFSonLinux with DKMS. I don't think they are named properly though. If they can be transferred to my user "demizer" in AUR, I would be happy to eventually provide proper packages as part of the ZFS support for Arch. If we agree to a maintainer transfer, could the packages please be renamed to: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zfs-modules-dkms/ renamed to zfs-dkms https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/spl-modules-dkms/ renamed to spl-dkms https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zfs-tools/ renamed to zfs-utils-dkms https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/spl-tools/ renamed to spl-utils-dkms Thanks!

We definitely need some further clean-up of zfs related package on AUR. There are so much of packages that seem useless. @Jesus, since you are the zfs expert here, could you confirm these packages are useless and should be deleted from AUR?
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-zfs/ (2 years out of date) https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zfs-linux-git/ (1 year no update) https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zfs-behlendorf-git/ (3 years no update)
Also, there are two packages that seem to do the same - zfs-dkms and zfs-modules-dkms. The latter is unmaintained (2 years out of date). Can you confirm the latter should be deleted, altogether with other zfs-related packages from the same maintainer?
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zfs-modules-dkms/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/spl-modules-dkms/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zfs-tools/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/spl-tools/
Thanks.
