Yodel!
I'm a Debian developer, and I have recently discovered the Btrfs project.
I'm no filesystem hacker, though, so I'll remain mostly silent here.
Just
allow me to make this short announcement:
I'm in the process of creating btrfs Debian packages. Preliminary packages
are available at <http://fortytwo.ch/debian/btrfs/>, expect the packages
to
be uploaded to Debian unstable soon-ish. (Since Btrfs is still very
unstable, I'll not let the packages go near testing or even stable,
though.)
I hope giving Btrfs wider exposure in this way is in your interest, too.
Since I have the impression that you're doing 0.x releases quite often and
especially do them when grave data corruption bugs crop up, I think
packaging releases instead of snapshots is ok.
cheers

If the people making packages need me to store some files in the btrfs repos (spec files or whatever), feel free to send them along.> > I hope giving Btrfs wider exposure in this way is in your interest, > too.Definitely, but please keep a big warning in there that the disk format will change a few more times and that no backwards compatibility will be provided.> > Since I have the impression that you're doing 0.x releases quite > often and especially do them when grave data corruption bugs crop up, > I think packaging releases instead of snapshots is ok.Yes, the releases are the way to go. -chris
