Source: lvm2 Version: 2.02.111-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch The upstream lvm2 source includes Python bindings for the lilvm2app2.2 API. These would be useful for scripting snapshots for backups, etc., but are not enabled in the current Debian packages.
I have attached a patch I created to locally enable the Python bindings to be built and installed as a separate package (python-lvm2). I have not submitted a patch to Debian before, so apologies if I've got anything wrong (particularly the Python-related bits!). -- David Taylor
