The purpose of zhist is to simplify access to past snapshots. For example,
if you "zhist ls somefile" then the results will be: A list of all
the
previous snapshot versions of that file or directory. No need to find the
right .zfs directory, or check to see which ones have changed. Some
reasonable steps (stat) are taken inside this zhist, to identify the
previous snaps, and to identify unique snaps of the requested object.
There is a long way still remaining to go. But this is a 90/10 rule. The
first "good enough for usage" version is available, and
that''s what most
people would care about.
You can get the present release as follows:
svn export https://zhist.googlecode.com/svn/tags/0.6beta
sudo chown root:root 0.6beta/zhist
sudo chmod 755 0.6beta/zhist
(optionally, edit the first line of 0.6beta/zhist to match your
environment''s preferred python location)
sudo mv 0.6beta/zhist /usr/local/bin
