btrfs-progs repository

[Leonidas Spyropoulos]

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?

Thanks
Leonidas

   There have been a lot of patches published in the 9 months or so
since the upstream repo was last updated -- Chris has been
concentrating on other things (like kernel-side stability and the new
fsck). 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. :)

   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).

   Hugo.

The only reason for me to search the mailing list for an alternative
repository (and I send the message after) was because with the latest
stable gcc 4.6 it doesn't compile due to some unused variables
(WARNINGS) so your repository seems to compile fine.
I wasn't after some cool new untested feature tbh, just the latest
btrfs. Would be cool to update it.

I would be happy to update the wiki if I knew the dependencies :P
And I don't know what you mean with the patched to userspace tools,
sorry for my naiveness.
(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).

No idea and when I searched on Arch linux for those packages didn't
find any with that name, should be under another package.

Have you already studied the "INSTALL" file?

Right, it's mentioned there must have missed it when I read the
INSTALL months ago..
