Hello, Why the official repository is not updated with the latest patched for gcc 4.6? I noticed that http://git.darksatanic.net/repo/btrfs-progs-unstable.git/ includes more patches than the git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/btrfs-progs-unstable.git So I was wondering is it some kind of testing to be done on patches to be included into the official repo? Another thing is that there are commands for creating the build enviroment for fedora and debian but I found nowhere in the wiki the dependencies of the btrfs-progs to compile them. Shouldn''t be a list of packages or dependencies for it?

I pulled them all into one place and started to try to make sense of them all, which is the ongoing work that is the darksatanic repo. There''s a for-chris branch (which is actually the same as my master branch now), which is the "stable" patches that have (mostly) been reviewed. Then there''s the integration-* branches, which are general dumps of things that aren''t ready to go upstream yet, but which I''m publishing simply to get patches available for testing (particularly new features like scrub). I should probably send Chris another pull request. :)> Another thing is that there are commands for creating the build > enviroment for fedora and debian but I found nowhere in the wiki the > dependencies of the btrfs-progs to compile them. > Shouldn''t be a list of packages or dependencies for it?The website is a wiki, so feel free to update the instructions with anything you''ve found to be missing. And I''ll happily accept patches to any instructions that are shipped with the userspace tools. :) (I believe the only dependencies are libuuid and libxattr -- whatever they''re called on $distribution).

I wasn''t after some cool new untested feature tbh, just the latest btrfs. Would be cool to update it.> >> Another thing is that there are commands for creating the build >> enviroment for fedora and debian but I found nowhere in the wiki the >> dependencies of the btrfs-progs to compile them. >> Shouldn''t be a list of packages or dependencies for it? > > The website is a wiki, so feel free to update the instructions with > anything you''ve found to be missing.

(even If I make a patch I don''t know how to actually produce the standartize patch mails I see on the mailing list, but that''s out of the mailing list question; would be grateful in an off-the-list email with instructions).> > (I believe the only dependencies are libuuid and libxattr -- > whatever they''re called on $distribution).No idea and when I searched on Arch linux for those packages didn''t find any with that name, should be under another package.> > Hugo. > > -- > === Hugo Mills: hugo@... carfax.org.uk | darksatanic.net | lug.org.uk ==> PGP key: 515C238D from wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net or http://www.carfax.org.uk > --- emacs: Eighty Megabytes And Constantly Swapping. --- > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) > > iD8DBQFOOm4GIKyzvlFcI40RAhsRAJ9G+zIkvJcOAxJp/bACRlLFYqbwIwCggMaU > mMaunZQG3NDI4yazFuC517Y> =GQRp > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > >-- Caution: breathing may be hazardous to your health. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
