@ShivamVashisth28 you must not replicate or copy all files from lunatik to this repo to test the package build. I cannot tell, by looking at this PR, what you have changed in the code to build the debian packages. This PR should contain only the necessary files to build the packages. The build process should work by adding |

Summary
This pull request introduces the complete structure and files required to build and package Lunatik (version 3.6.2) using DKMS. It includes:
lunatik-3.6.2/debian/control,debian/rules,dkms.conf, etc.)The goal is to make the DKMS packaging process reproducible and aligned with Debian policy standards.
Steps to Build and Test the Package
To build and test the DKMS-based Lunatik package, follow these steps:
Inside the
lunatik-3.6.2/directory, run:Once the build completes, move one directory up:
cd ..Install the generated
.debpackages:After installation, run the Lunatik CLI:
Current Issue
Upon launching
lunatik, the kernel modules fail to load. Running:sudo dmesg | tailreveals symbol-related errors, particularly conflicts between ZFS and Lunatik.
Debugging Efforts So Far
To resolve this, the following steps were attempted:
quiltand included them in the packaging process.Despite this, the issue with symbol conflicts remains unresolved.
Proposed Next Steps
Two possible directions are under consideration:
Investigate and Patch
Analyze the exact cause of the naming or symbol conflict and attempt to resolve it by refining the existing patch.
Rework the Packaging Approach
Consider starting the packaging process from scratch, possibly using a non-DKMS-based build method
Please review the added structure and build steps. Feedback and suggestions for improving the namespace handling or alternative packaging strategies are welcome.
