I've still not had chance to test that the hooks work, so use them at your own risk. This pkgver bump was more to add btrfs-select-super, which WonderWoofy pointed out needs to be explicitly built and installed manually. If there are any other tools that can be built but aren't by default, and you think would be useful, please let me know.

Just an FYI: I updated the PKGBUILD with the mkinitcpio hook a week or so ago, but I've not had chance to test it yet. Anyone interested in testing it can download it from here: https://raw.github.com/WorMzy/PKGBUILDs/master/btrfs-progs-git/PKGBUILD

These days, having udev or systemd in your initramfs is IMO a no brainer. But I also know that there are people out there who vehemently oppose perceived over-complication. Personally I wouldn't get use out of it, but I just noticed that it was something that the Arch package included, but this one doesn't. Considering that this package is much more useful to a true btrfs user than the Tom Gunderson's in [core], I just thought it might be a nice thing to include. Tom has recently inquired on the btrfs-devel list about having some kind of a "release" structure, so that it would be more clear about when his package should be updated. Apparently, the last real release was v19 and that was a few years ago. Sometimes, updates of the featureset in the kernel require a "matching" btrfs-progs to make use of the features. For example, I use send/receive, yet last I checked, this was not included in the Arch package. I think too that skinny extents cannot be enabled by the btrfs-progs package either.

Some one else asked about it back in May. I can add it if you think it will be useful, but I don't use it, so I can't guarantee it will always work.

WorMzy, I don't actually use them, but the official package includes a 'btrfs' mkinitpcio hook, which is intended to be used with initramfs' w/o udev (for multi device btrfs filesystems). Have you ever thought to add those to your package? I just got really confused the other day when a friend was asking about whether nor not to use it. I was going to copy/paste the output of 'mkinitpcio -H btrfs' to him, but it wasn't there. It took me a minute or so to realize that it was because the hook was provided by the btrfs-progs package.

Seems like a reasonable addition, and I note that the same thing is implemented in the official PKGBUILD. Done. :)

oops. rebooted and ${pkgname/-git} worked for me as well. It really should have. sorry. Maybe take into account $CFLAGS? make CFLAGS="$CFLAGS" all btrfs-zero-log

WorMzy commented on 2013-06-03 22:57 (UTC)

/-git Works fine here. After re-reading the Parameter Expansion section of the bash manpage though, %-git is probably the better choice, so I'll make the change.

I assume the original submitter decided to omit it because it's basically useless, and I'm more than happy to maintain the status quo in that regard. If you have a multi-device btrfs root partition and don't want udev in your initramfs for some reason, then you could always use the mkinitcpio-btrfs AUR package or manually package the btrfs-progs's mkinitcpio hooks.
