The conflicts=('btrbk-git') line should be removed (if putting a conflict anywhere it should be on the VCS version of a package instead, with a conflict on the non-VCS variant).
Also, maybe add optdepends=('sudo: support for the btrfs-progs-sudo backend')?

@willemw Thank you, removed.

willemw commented on 2021-10-02 08:47 (UTC)

Please remove "conflicts=('btrbk-git')" according to the guidelines ("... you do not need to specify that conflicting package in your conflicts array").

akurei commented on 2021-09-14 07:53 (UTC)

@MountainX No, sorry. Don't know if they exist. It would be great if those landed upstream. If not, another AUR package would probably the better solution (btrbk-pacman-hooks) or something akin.

willemw commented on 2021-08-07 20:44 (UTC)

conflicts=('btrbk-git') is not necessary.

MountainX commented on 2020-12-11 20:32 (UTC)

@akurei thank you for maintaining this package. Do you know if any pacman hooks exist for btrbk that could replace Arch Linux - snap-pac 2.3.1-2 (any)? If they don't exist, I volunteer to help someone create & test them.

akurei commented on 2020-09-30 08:14 (UTC)

Fixed here. As soon as upstream releases a fix I will adapt the PKGBUILD again. Thanks @xiretza @Kr1ss

simon04 commented on 2020-09-28 19:03 (UTC)

The package should therefore specify otions=(!makeflags). Citing from PKGBUILD(5), "More useful in its negative form !makeflags with select packages that have problems building with custom makeflags such as -j2 (or higher)."

Kr1ss commented on 2020-09-28 14:55 (UTC)

Thank you for the quick response !

xiretza commented on 2020-09-28 14:54 (UTC)

Submitted an upstream patch for the problem mentioned by @Kr1ss at https://github.com/digint/btrbk/pull/341, but until a new patch release comes out, make -j1 in package() is probably the best solution.

Hey @akurei, thx a lot for maintaining the package, and for the recent update !

While building, I noticed there is a race condition occuring occasionally when make is configured to use multithreading, leading to an error

ln: failed to create symbolic link '/tmp/makepkg/btrbk/pkg/btrbk/usr/bin/lsbtr': No such file or directory

This points to the symlink being attempted before the $pkgdir/usr/bin folder has been created.

So, would you consider either

  1. adding options=('!makeflags'), or
  2. prepending the make install command with MAKEFLAGS+=' -j1'

TIA, Cheers !

PS By the way, the BINDIR="/usr/bin" is no longer necessary, since the application will now be installed to that location by default. :)

Updated to 0.28.3

getzze commented on 2018-06-26 15:07 (UTC)

I could not make it work without the mbuffer dependency, which is optional since version 0.25.1 (https://github.com/digint/btrbk/issues/154). Can you maybe add it in 'optdepends': 'mbuffer: add buffering to send-stream'

akurei commented on 2017-10-29 16:36 (UTC)

Updated to v0.26.0 @kbabioch, sorry for the delay.

kbabioch commented on 2017-10-28 18:55 (UTC)

Any plans on updating this package? Are you still interested in maintaining this?

akurei commented on 2017-07-30 20:42 (UTC)

Updated to v0.25.1

akurei commented on 2017-04-03 10:18 (UTC)

Updated to v0.25.0

akurei commented on 2016-11-21 18:02 (UTC)

Updated.

akurei commented on 2016-06-04 00:32 (UTC)

Adopted.

puithove commented on 2016-05-02 11:55 (UTC)

Here is a patch for doing 0.23.0 - no longer needs perl-date-calc (release notes say it's switched over to using internal date function). 5c5 < pkgver=0.22.2 --- > pkgver=0.23.0 11c11 < depends=('perl' 'perl-date-calc' 'btrfs-progs') --- > depends=('perl' 'btrfs-progs') 16c16 < sha256sums=('6869124b16c3c907f8ef7896f1c6997976bf8c96fd5d71fce1940b731b886fbd') --- > sha256sums=('392afefe717d6eb86597fc8dfdb87b030632b6b0c30db783b969a07d7bc64ab2')

Thanks :)

TH3L0N3W0LF commented on 2015-09-06 16:22 (UTC)

Yeah, you're right. Switched pv over to optional. Thanks.

derhamster commented on 2015-09-06 08:41 (UTC)

Shouldn't it be an optional dependency? btrbk does not fail when it is not present. It just complains that it can't show the progress.

TH3L0N3W0LF commented on 2015-09-05 20:13 (UTC)

Added. I completely forgot about that feature, thanks.

derhamster commented on 2015-09-05 20:00 (UTC)

Could you add pv as an optdep? btrbk uses it for the new --progress option.
