LFScript can find this software under the name btrfs-progs.
Sources
MD5 Checksums:
1afa2d828ec80cf21aa530ae2a8caf99 btrfs-progs_2012_01_27.tar.bz2
You can build a source package from the latest version by running the following commands from within the lfscript directory:
mkdir btrfs-distrib cd btrfs-distrib git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/btrfs-progs.git tar --xz -cf btrfs-progs_$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.xz btrfs-progs md5sum btrfs-progs_$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.xz mv -v btrfs-progs_$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.xz ../sources cd ../ rm -rf btrfs-distrib
Then move the source archive to the sources directory of LFScript and edit the btrfs-progs script to point to the new source archive. Don't forget to also adjust the md5 checksum in the script.
Dependencies
- lzo
The following packages are required to build the documentation. asciidoc requires python2. And xmlto requires about 5 more packages to deal with XML. If you want to build a light system, you may want to find a way to not build the docs. However, if you are going to build a desktop system, the XML dependencies will probably also be required for other packages.
- asciidoc
- xmlto
If you want to be able to mount btrfs file systems, you will need to add support for it to your kernel:
File systems ---> Btrfs filesystem (EXPERIMENTAL) Unstable disk format
Installation
make
As the root user:
make prefix=/usr install
