https://xcp-ng.org/docs/additionalpackages.html

Document is very confusing.

No where in the document does it say that the repository in question, also no name of repo, is enabled by default. It does say, however, that 'update-process' assumes that only XCP repos are enabled, but that doesn't really tell me that I can install zfs from the default repos, it just says what the computer assumes, good for him.

The line "Prefer additional packages from XCP-ng's own repositories" should really include word 'default' and in the subsection word 'enabled' by default.

What I had done: I read this article https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2018/08/03/xcp-ng-with-zfs/ and tried to find which repo do I have to enable in order to install zfs on version 8 since the package moved from the old repo and the old repo doesn't exist anymore. The documentation says there's a list of installable packages from xcp-s own repos, but it doesn't say that xcps own repos are enabled by default and that no additional repositories need to be enabled in order to install the listed packages in the given list of packages.

It is all very confusing, I just installed zfs but before that I'd been trying in accordance to the old article for an hour.
