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:
