It consists of 4 patches and a script. Otherwise it'd be a lot more patches that only move files around. The end result after running the script is a directory tree that looks like this: btrfs-progs/lib btrfs-progs/src/debug btrfs-progs/src/fsck btrfs-progs/src/test btrfs-progs/src/util btrfs-progs/src/convert btrfs-progs/src/mkfs lib contains the objects that used to be $(COMMON_OBJS), but are now a full-fledged shared library with supporting includes to be installed in /usr/include/btrfs. Headers are also placed in lib so that patches indended for the kernel can also apply to the library without a lot of effort. * Patch 1: Converts to autotools * Patch 2: Adds check for sparse support * Patch 3: Creates libbtrfs and reshuffle programs to use it * Patch 4: Creates a spec file I know there are a lot of people out there who hate autotools. I'm not a fan myself, but it does make the checking for optional libraries and the generation of new ones really easy. The spec file expects the library to exist and will create three packages: btrfs-progs, libbtrfs, and libbtrfs-devel. This all works for me. -Jeff -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs
