I wasn't after some cool new untested feature tbh, just the latest btrfs. Would be cool to update it. > >> 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.

(even If I make a patch I don't know how to actually produce the standartize patch mails I see on the mailing list, but that's out of the mailing list question; would be grateful in an off-the-list email with instructions).
