Description:

I need to build both SPL and ZFS with DKMS.
ZFS depends on the built SPL module.
The order of execution seems random. Sometimes, SPL is built first (everything good), or ZFS is built first and lacks SPL.

The order of the build should be predictable (alphabetically).

I wrote a (probably ugly) patch for the alpm-hook which replaces the map with an array and orders the array (attached).


Additional info:
* package version(s)

dkms 2.3-2

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
   dkms-ordered.patch (2.1 KiB)
This task depends upon

If the module B has to be built before module A. What you are proposing will not help, as you cannot change the module name in configuration in order to define the correct build order.
This is relevant only because SPL is before ZFS alphabetically and the dependency is in the same direction.
