--- Comment #12 from Ondrej Kozina <okozina@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
I have assembled new spec file. Snapper is updated to the latest commit in
master branch and patched to reflect the bug discussed here and also few
others.

(reported upstream):
- patch: avoid abrt when 'diff' command is executed without arguments
- patch: do not check for btrfs-progs binary
- patch: do not allow 'create-config' command on non-thin LVM volumes

Also, I have removed python bindings since python users can communicate
directly with snapperd via dbus interface.

Removed both btrfs-progs and LVM direct dependencies. LVM has been discussed
here and btrfs-progs are not needed anymore. Snapper's been rewritten to call
directly ioctl instead.

this will require a change in error reporting design of snapperd so this'll
take some time, I suppose. Anyway, I'll report that with some patch proposal
soon.
