There have been a lot of patches published in the 9 months or so since the upstream repo was last updated -- Chris has been concentrating on other things (like kernel-side stability and the new fsck). I pulled them all into one place and started to try to make sense of them all, which is the ongoing work that is the darksatanic repo. There's a for-chris branch (which is actually the same as my master branch now), which is the "stable" patches that have (mostly) been reviewed. Then there's the integration-* branches, which are general dumps of things that aren't ready to go upstream yet, but which I'm publishing simply to get patches available for testing (particularly new features like scrub). I should probably send Chris another pull request. :) > Another thing is that there are commands for creating the build > enviroment for fedora and debian but I found nowhere in the wiki the > dependencies of the btrfs-progs to compile them. > Shouldn't be a list of packages or dependencies for it? The website is a wiki, so feel free to update the instructions with anything you've found to be missing. And I'll happily accept patches to any instructions that are shipped with the userspace tools. :) (I believe the only dependencies are libuuid and libxattr -- whatever they're called on $distribution).
