The packages are masked as "testing" (not stable), and they display the "Btrfs is under heavy development..." warning, of course. And Gentoo is used to handling autotools, so I can adjust the ebuild to deal with this if needed. Since Gentoo has its own way of specifying which kernel to build modules against, as long as I can control this (I currently pass in a custom "KERNELDIR"), things should work fine. -Joe
