Indeed. Fixed, thanks.

Boost seems to be a run-time dependency, as well as a make-time dependency. I cleaned out my orphan packages, and snapper stopped working.

@mtorromeo: you're right. snapper create-config is way more elegant. I updated the wiki accordingly.

Looking at the source code, the .snapshots subvolume is created with the create-config command: https://github.com/openSUSE/snapper/blob/master/snapper/Btrfs.cc#L76 You may want to update the wiki.

Regarding the instructions on the wiki, there is a line section that suggests that snapper expects .snapshots to be a subvolume. In my experience this is not necessary. The .snapshots subvolume is created automatically by snapper on the first run. Maybe this was true for older versions? I just started using this recently and I don't know much about the old behaviours.

@mtorromeo: thanks. I updated the wiki accordingly (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Snapper) @donniezazen: regarding the config, you might have to recreate /etc/conf.d/snapper (most likely it will end up as .pacsave after uninstalling snapper-git). If you modified the cronjob scripts provided by snapper, they will get overwritten as there is no backup() for it (not sure what you meant with "rewriting" them)

@mtorromeo Thanks. Will I need to make any change to my default setup? I have default setup as instructed in install file. Will cron job survive or will I have to rewrite that?

For anyone interested: the stable version (0.1.7) of snapper base off this PKGBUILD is now in [community]

@lots0logs: thanks, meanwhile the patch is needed for btrs-progs from [core], too. Fixed.

lots0logs commented on 2013-10-02 19:36 (UTC)

The build failed the first try. I got it to work by removing first half of the patch line (where it pacman Q | grep btrfs-progs). I have btrfs installed so I am not sure if this is just an isolated issue or if others will have trouble. Just wanted to give the heads up!
