Dear Kibi and Debian Boot team,
Where can I find the team this evening? I have two questions relating
to a bug I'd like to close that probably have short answers...but
might not be so short :-)
Sincerely,
Nicholas

Hello,
I'm wondering if Debian Boot will have a Debcamp this year. My
small project would be 1) making a couple of improvements to Rescue
Mode 2) adding btrfs subvolume support to the installer
2 is currently blocked by 1. My plan for 2 is to model it off of
existing LVM support.
Cheers,
Nich

Ah...the logic is in debian/rescue-mode.postinst; I had assumed it
would be elsewhere. I'll take some time to study this thoroughly, and
to do a VM install and rescue to see how the LVM case works. If you
know if it's closer to (1) or (2) in my last email.

Hi Philipp,
Thank you for the clarification, and sorry for my tardy reply.

Hi,
I've pushed minimal changes to the git branch "proposed" of
partman-btrfs. Would someone please take a look at them and let me
know if they look good? I'm sure I'm forgetting something... That
said, the solution I'm proposing doesn't require translation ;-)
Kind regards,
Nicholas
