Description

The current ebuild uses gentoo as vendor.
This vendor is also used to identify automatically the OS like visible here: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/blob/master/config/zfs-build.m4#L600

So i open this issue to trace two different steps:
a) create a PR to zfs upsteam project to add macaroni vendor
b) create a /etc/macaroni/release or /etc/macaroni-release to use in the PR

Research direction

Review the current ZFS ebuild and the upstream config/zfs-build.m4 around line 600 to understand how the vendor identifies the operating system. Then investigate adding the macaroni vendor upstream and choosing between /etc/macaroni/release and /etc/macaroni-release; done means an upstream PR is prepared and the selected release file is supported.
