Heh, ok. Anyways, I fixed the conf.d vs. sysconfig location in the man pages.

I screwed up - snapperd does not reload its config files automatically, but just seems to check them periodically for changes. I moved my config file with its .pacsave file in /etc/conf.d after the upgrade, but did not issue a 'killall -HUP snapperd' afterwards. Because of that, 'snapper list-configs' showed no configs. By the time I looked at snappers man page, found the default config location and copied the file from /etc/conf.d to /etc/sysconfig, snapperd must have detected the config file change and was working as expected again.

@cbounce: The configure flag for this is --with-conf=/etc/conf.d If that fails I'd say it's an upstream bug, but I cannot reproduce your issue with a just built version. What exactly isn't working?

Hey, I just switched from snapper to snapper-git, and noticed that even though the upgrade process created a .pacsave file for /etc/conf.d/snapper correctly, the git version seems to be hardcoded to look for /etc/sysconfig/snapper for its configuration. after copying my /etc/conf.d/snapper to /etc/sysconfig/snapper, it started working correctly again.

Fixed. Thanks.

In the origin config in /etc/snapper/filters/base.txt the path for the ntp drift file is /var/lib/ntp/drift/ntp.drift but the arch default is /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift. Would be cool if it would be correct by default.

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.
