DEVELOPMENT
Check out any active branches to see what's been added. Most notable is the
"kernel" branch. In that version snap-pac not only does pre/post snapshots but
also detects if the "linux" package has been updated. If so, it symlinks your
old kernel's modules to "/usr/lib/modules" from the pre snapshot so that they
are available. Additionally it symlinks your old kernel and initramfs to a
subfolder in boot where they can be detected by GRUB. So you have the option to
boot into an older kernel if needed. Note that all of these locations need to be
in the "root" snapper configuration's subvolume. Checkout the "kernel" branch
and add PACMAN_KEEP_OLD_KERNELS="yes" to your snapper root configuration to
enable this feature. It probably won't make it into a main release, but I may
package it separately.
