linux to linux-zen as an example

/etc/pacman.conf:

[zfs-linux-zen]
Server = http://kernels.archzfs.com/$repo/

paru -Sy to sync new repo

Install zfs for linux-zen kernel (or -Syu as in refresh package list then upgrade all packages and install the one you want)

# Install zfs for linux-zen kernel
# Does this automatically uninstall archzfs/zfs-linux?
# If not do it manually
# Does this also pull zfs-linux-zen/linux-zen and zfs-linux-zen/linux-zen-headers?
# If not see below
paru -S archzfs/zfs-linux-zen

Install linux-zen kernel and headers if this didn't happen automatically

# Install kernel and header files
# Does this automatically uninstall core/linux and core/linux-headers?
# If not do it manually
paru -S zfs-linux-zen/linux-zen zfs-linux-zen/linux-zen-headers

/etc/systemd/system/chmod-initramfs.service
/etc/systemd/system/chmod-initramfs.path
Clean up in /boot
Create /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux-zen.preset
Comment out /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset
mkinitcpio -P
Restart

Also:

change pacman hook to new kernel name and other important packages

Go from precompiled zfs-linux-zen/zfs-linux-zen to DKMS archzfs/zfs-dkms.

Install archzfs/zfs-dkms
- This will prompt for removal of zfs-linux-zen/zfs-linux-zen
In /etc/pacman.conf uncomment or remove:
```
[zfs-linux-zen]
Server = http://kernels.archzfs.com/$repo/
```
- Leaving it in sounds reasonable but this will actually remain the primary source for linux-zen and linux-zen-headers if left in at the top of the repo list in /etc/pacman.conf. Technically it'll be zfs-linux-zen/linux-zen and zfs-linux-zen/linux-zen-headers but the fact that it's coming from a different repo doesn't matter to pacman, it simply sees linux-zen and linux-zen-headers. We make this move specifically because we now want extra/linux-zen and extra/linux-zen-headers instead so the [zfs-linux-zen] repo needs to go.
