There is currently no ebuild for the btrfs progs. Could you please add it to sys-fs ? Here is a working ebuild that you can use: http://pastebin.com/m99d9427 You can save it to sys-fs/btrfs-progs/btrfs-progs-0.13.ebuild Reproducible: Always
Project Description: A Checksumming Copy on Write Filesystem Btrfs introduction Linux has a wealth of filesystems to choose from, but we are facing a number of challenges with scaling to the large storage subsystems that are becoming common in today's data centers. Filesystems need to scale in their ability to address and manage large storage, and also in their ability to detect, repair and tolerate errors in the data stored on disk.
Please attach an ebuild instead of referencing an external resource (apart from upstream, that is :).
Created attachment 151261 [details] ebuild for btrfs-progs-0.13 Ok, here is the attached ebuild
Created attachment 151404 [details] ebuild for btrfs-progs-0.14 Here's an updated ebuild for btrfs-progs 0.14.
Is anybody interested in me acting as the maintainer for this ebuild?
I just committed two new packages: sys-fs/btrfs sys-fs/btrfs-progs Enjoy! -Joe P.S. I am curious why this bug mentioned only the need for btrfs-progs, since the main "btrfs" kernel module was not in the tree.
Because I have a patch that adds btrfs to the kernel tree. ;) http://www.eworm.de/download/linux/btrfs-0.14-2.6.25.patch.bz2 Thanks for the commit!
Cool, yes, nice to have it in the kernel source, but then again, at btrfs's current status, it's nice to have the separate module ebuild so you can add it to any kernel you want to use just using portage (plus, you can upgrade btrfs without having to patch/build a new kernel). I think that once btrfs goes stable, we'll see it in the kernel proper, which will be nice. -Joe
