Hi, I''ve created snapper packages for Ubuntu, available on https://launchpad.net/~snapper/+archive/stable. For those new to snapper, it''s a tool for managing btrfs snapshots (http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Snapper). It depends on libblocxx available from https://launchpad.net/~bjoern-esser-n/+archive/blocxx , and currently uses git source up to commit 50dec40. I''ve done some limited testing and it seems to to work correctly so far. There''s a small, distro-independent patch needed for it to work correctly though. I''m sending it as a separate mail. @Arvin, @MGE, I don''t know the correct list for snapper development so I''m cc-ing you both. If there''s a dedicated list for snapper please let me know and I''ll post further updates there. -- Fajar -- 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

I just tested it, and not having libblocxx during compilation results in less dependencies (namely libblocxx itself, plus libssl, libcrypto, and libpcre). What functionality, if any, is not available when not using libblocxx? Since it''s still used when present during configure, I assume it''s good for something. Thanks.

With blocxx an application linking libsnapper can use blocxx functions to control and redirect logging.
