Somebody needs to package dm-vdo first.

Comment 4 Nikolay Kichukov 2022-10-28 07:04:01 UTC

I have some stale vdo ebuilds which I use, fancy another pull request?

VDO is split in two parts: 

kvdo - kernel module(s) and
vdo - userland utilities

Which one are you interested in here?

Kernel part (kvdo) has been merged into mainline for 6.9: https://www.phoronix.com/news/DM-VDO-Merged-Linux-6.9

So the userspace part (and maybe a change to sys-fs/lvm2 to optionally depend on it and >=virtual-sources-SomeVersion) would be the only things missing.
