any chance of supporting btrfs partition?

Hope you can add support for btfrs
I think this is a perfect match for Arch rolling release
You can see it in action with this VIDEO

It is fairly easy to change the file system used simply by adding the btrfs-progs package (either as a dependency to the main meta package or by adding it as an extra package to install (on line 80) and changing the installer to format the partition with btrfs (on line 66).

However, this repo is not designed for direct general consumption, it contains things specific to my needs and is open more as an example/demo of what is possible. I have no plans to make these packages/scripts generic for everyone's use cases as that would complicate them and make both maintenance and the ability to tweak them for every niche purpose harder. Instead, I encourage you to fork this repo and adjust them to your own needs and requirements.

If you have not already you should read my blog post about the installer and creating/managing meta-packages.

If you want some feedback on what you have done or if you are struggling with a particular point or just want more advice then I am more than willing to take a look and help. But I have no intention of making these scripts run time customizable or to meet other use cases that I do not require.

Thanks for your interest and if you do manage it, let me know and I can add links to your scripts as an example for others to follow should they choose to.
