Bug 908452 – dev-python/btrfs: new package

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Holger Hoffstätte 2023-06-13 14:44:31 UTC]

This pure-python package is a collection of classes & helpers that make it *astonishingly* easy to write anything you can imagine for btrfs administration or hacking. I've been using this for years.
I understand the reluctance of introducing new packages, but:
- the package is maintained and the author is active on the btrfs list
- slow release cycles, mostly for new btrfs features every few years
- it has NO crazy dependency clown car
- I am willing to proxy-maintain it (very little to do)
- it's already tested with python-3.12


Reproducible: Always




At this point I'm mostly looking for feedback, like whether there is any interest at all. Other things I'd love to hear:
- is the python packaging vodoo OK? (it works, but..)
- sys-fs or dev-python? let me know :)

Btw the patches are necessary to support a feature that is already available in the kernel and btrfs-progs (block group tree). The last release was so long ago that I decided to just steal the patches from the dev branch (https://github.com/knorrie/python-btrfs/issues/42).
