Snapper packages for Ubuntu

Snapper packages for Ubuntu

[Fajar A. Nugraha]

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.

libblocxx is not required for snapper anymore since about a
month. It's checked during configure.

You're right. 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.

Fajar

It's just used for logging. With blocxx an application linking
libsnapper can use blocxx functions to control and redirect
logging.
